The exhibits in the AEA Exhibit Hall are designed to create a synergy between the manufacturers and their dealers. This is a closed show to the general public - the manufacturers are there to show the dealers the latest and greatest in new technology and how much the dealers can profit. Enjoy many networking opportunities and take advantage of talking face-to-face to these manufacturers.

Good news here! The convention and trade show are both located at the Marriott's Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. You just take the elevator from your hotel room – no reason to have a rental car or take a taxi.

A full spouse registration includes exhibit hall entrance for three days, First-Nighter Party, Awards Luncheon and Farewell Reception.

The advance registration fee for an AEA member is: $615. For non-members the advance registration fee is: $815. On-site fees are more expensive.
