Installations at the Annual Meeting are a chance for attendees and presenters to shed the traditional styles of presenting their work. Installations are not formal presentations or moderated discussions. They break the mold of all other programming types, and in the past have included dance performances, art installations, exercise classes, poetry slams, computer/digital displays, museum style exhibits, and virtual reality experiences. Your imagination and creativity are your only limitations.
Since installations can take all kinds of forms, we prefer to collect some basic information from you about your idea as your installation submission in the submission portal, and then a member of AAA staff will reach out to schedule a conversation with you about your plans to help determine if you installation will be accepted as a part of the annual meeting.
The AAA will provide a ‘blank canvas’ – open space for your installation, but cannot provide equipment, furniture, shipping or technology. We can work with you to source those items should you need to procure them, or you are welcome to bring all you need into the space with you.
