Issue 4, June 2019

With the 2019 AAEA Annual Meeting just a little over six weeks away, there are still a few deadlines to look out for before presentations can begin! This issue we will cover those cut off dates as well as go over what you can do to make the most of your time in Atlanta.

Hotel Information

AAEA has coordinated with the Atlanta Marriott Marquis to secure a room block and a guest rate of $199 per night. In order to receive a room under this rate, you must book before June 19. After that date, the room block will close and you will need to book separately with the hotel.

Please be aware of any scam accounts that may be contacting meeting attendees. To ensure your privacy and accurate booking, please book only directly with the hotel through the AAEA link here. If you have any questions or concerns about booking or the hotel, please feel free to reach out to Mary Annen at mannen@aaea.org or (414) 918-3190.

Advanced Registration Deadline

Shortly following the deadline to book your hotel room with AAEA is the last day for advanced registration. Beginning on July 3, registration prices will increase again and you will have to register onsite in Atlanta. Register here to save yourself time and money. Please note, if you wish to receive a printed copy of the final program, you will need to register before today, June 13, in order for your request to be processed. We encourage everyone to use the mobile app for the most up-to-date information. More information and how to download coming soon!

Make a stop at the Georgia Aquarium, the largest in the United States! Want to spend some time in the sun? Take a walk through the Centennial Olympic Park where you will see the Fountain of Rings and the 20-story SkyView Ferris Wheel. Watch our promotional video for some inspiration here!
