Conference 2020 Update

Planning was underway for the annual MAEA conference to be hosted at Worcester State University in the fall of 2020. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, on April 9, 2020, the MAEA Board of Directors voted to shift planning to a virtual conference for the 2020 annual MAEA conference.

The conference committee is currently researching and exploring options for this event and we would love your feedback. Please share your thoughts and ideas in this short survey. If you have questions please contact MAEA Conference Committee Chair, Shannon Carey.

We look forward to hosting an in-person event in the Worcester area in the future!
