AEE Heartland Region

The 2025 AEE Heartland Region Conference Was a Success!

From the opening playnote to the last workshop session, it was a weekend of connection and learning. A huge thank you to the UWL graduate cohort for planning the conference and to our Keynote speakers, Carla Hacker and Brian Counselman for inspiring us to make education invitational, and to make it just weird enough to be interesting.

Thanks again to our sponsors,
