Media Invited to Register for 2022 Annual Meeting of Education Researchers

WHAT

The American Educational Research Association’s annual meeting is the largest gathering of scholars in the field of education research. It is a showcase for ground-breaking, innovative scholarship in an array of areas—from early education through higher education, from digital learning to educational equity. It is where to encounter ideas and data that will shape tomorrow's education practices and policies, and where to connect with leading thinkers from the U.S. and around the world.

Members of the media are invited to register to attend the 2022 AERA Annual Meeting, April 21-26, for six days of cutting edge research, ideas, and engagement. The 2022 Annual Meeting theme is “Cultivating Equitable Education Systems for the 21st Century.”

WHEN

April 21-26, 2022

WHERE

The 2022 Annual Meeting will be a dual-component conference, with place-based sessions in San Diego, CA, and other sessions offered on a virtual platform

WHO

Join thousands of AERA members and scholars from aligned fields and disciplines, policymakers, and practitioners to hear from major speakers and choose from some 2,000 substantive sessions featuring high-quality and timely education research.

Placed-based Sessions and Virtual Sessions
Place-based sessions will be held in San Diego and other sessions on a virtual platform, based on presenters’ preferences. As of February, we anticipate that 80 percent of sessions will be conducted in person. The rest of the sessions will be available virtually. Reporters who choose to attend in person also will be able to watch all virtual sessions live online or access the recordings later. Reporters who can only attend virtually will have the benefit of the virtual sessions as well as live streaming of major sessions and events being held in San Diego. The percentages of sessions conducted in person and virtually are subject to change before the 2022 Annual Meeting.

Vaccination and Mask Policy
Proof of vaccination and masking are required to attend the 2022 AERA Annual Meeting in San Diego. All attendees must be FULLY VACCINATED to attend in person. The masking requirement will remain in place unless guidance from public health authorities leading up to the Annual Meeting recommends that the AERA Council revisit this policy. See proof of vaccination requirements for those with and without U.S. vaccination cards here.

Media Registration
Please complete this Press Registration Form. Once AERA has confirmed press registration for a reporter with a U.S. vaccination card, we will send the reporter their registration ID # so they can complete the CLEAR process, as well as a web link and access code for reporters who want to reserve housing in AERA’s press room block. If you have any questions regarding your registration, contact AERA Communications at communcations@aera.net.
