ABOUT
Signature Events
Throughout the year, AAED hosts a multitude of events statewide that provide professional education and opportunities to connect. These include luncheons, symposiums, mixers and networking events, and academy courses.
In addition, AAED hosts two signature, not to be missed, events each year including the spring conference and the fall forum.
Tribal Economic Innovation Rapid Fire Submissions
In this fun, fast, and dynamic format, five presenters have a maximum of five minutes to present no more than five slides — 5-5-5! Presentations highlight an initiative, program, or project impacting Tribal Communities and economic across Arizona. Submissions should clearly convey the Tribal Community impacted, the topic to be presented, and how it might be of interest to the attendees.
You must be able to present on Thursday, May 29th between 12:00 – 1:15 PM at the 2025 Tribal Symposium at We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort. The deadline to submit is Thursday, May 1st and those selected to present will be notified by May 9th.
