In addition, AAED hosts two signature, not to be missed, events each year including the spring conference and the fall forum.

Conference Session Proposal Form
AAED Conference Session Proposal
Session proposals should address trends and topics that reflect the wide-ranging needs and interests of economic developers in Arizona. AAED also wants to ensure we have a diverse range of speakers and ask that session speakers reflect that commitment. AAED conferences typically have over 150 attendees from communities large and small across Arizona. Attendees are economic developers, educational partners, and private sector representatives from fields like construction, architecture, developers, and engineering companies. Sessions that have a unique format i.e. workshop, breakout groups, small group discussion are encouraged.
