Big picture

Join us for the 2021 AMEA Conference!

This year's conference will be offered online! This year's theme is "Connecting Through Music." The dates are January 29 and 30, 2021. Friday starts at 4 pm, and Saturday starts at 8:30 am. Join us for keynote addresses by Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser and Elisa Janson-Jones, as well as several informative sessions chosen by ABODA, ACE, and AzSGM. The cost of the conference is only $80 for regular registration and $40 for collegiates and retirees. What a deal! We also have special "happy hour" sessions where you can hang out with your favorite colleagues at the end of each day, as well as targeted sessions for vendors. We are also pleased to have the Navy Band Southwest musical ensembles performing virtually for us throughout the conference. It's going to be awesome! Register now!
