Unlike most in-person conferences, you don’t have to choose which presentation to attend. Each presentation is roughly 10 minutes long, and you have the opportunity to see them ALL!

Jessica Balsley will be your host, and she will guide you through the day with introductions, announcements, raffles, and digital SWAG announced in between each presentation.

If you miss a few presentations, they will ALL be available on the day of the conference with the AOE After Pass. In fact, the AOE After Pass allows you access to every single presentation, every handout and download, and an EXTRA four presentations— for an entire year after the conference!

Open up your swag box, get out your sketchbook and artmaking materials, and get ready for a day filled with real-world advice, inspiration, hands-on learning, and creativity!

Plus, check out this summer’s amazing set of featured presenters!
