The newly revived Awards Ceremony Luncheon, with an emphasis on community, will be a highlight of the 2025 AERA Annual Meeting. AERA encourages Annual Meeting participants to add the luncheon to their registration and to help honor notable accomplishments and achievements, across career stages, in education research. Annual meeting registration will open later in December.

The luncheon will be held at the Annual Meeting in Denver on Thursday, April 24, 11:40 a.m. to 1:25 p.m. Participants can select the luncheon when they register for the Annual Meeting or return to their completed registration to add it. The cost is $35 for students and $65 for nonstudents.

As was reported in the July 2024 issue of Highlights, AERA Council approved restoring the Awards Luncheon at its June 2024 meeting.

“We are thrilled to restore the luncheon to the Annual Meeting in a format that will be festive and inclusive,” said AERA Executive Director Felice J. Levine. “We look forward to honoring and celebrating the best of education research while in Denver and look forward to a large community turnout.”
