It is where to encounter ideas and data that will shape education practices and policies, and where to connect with leading thinkers from the United States and around the world. Leading up to the 2016 Annual Meeting, AERA16 Insider will provide a monthly glance at meeting highlights and features.

Annual Meeting Begins With Special Event
Opening Plenary Session and Gala to Celebrate Centennial Year
The Centennial Annual Meeting's Opening Plenary Session and Gala will celebrate AERA’s 100-year milestone in grand style. Together, the elements of this energizing and dynamic opening session will commemorate the association’s history, highlight the breadth and unity of the field of education research as it has evolved around the world, and begin to explore second-century pathways for advancing AERA’s mission.

The centerpiece of the opening plenary session will be a “Meet the Press”-style Power Panel and Town Hall discussion that takes a critical look at the current “State of the Field” for education research – taking stock of its complex history and imagining its future. The Post-Plenary Gala will be an elegant and festive party for members and friends of AERA.
