Industry Transformations and Trends

The AAIT Board of Directors is pleased to announce that we will be hosting our 5th Annual Conference this year. Our previous four conferences have been successful, but we've been working very hard to ensure that this year's Conference will be especially so, since this year marks the 30th anniversary of our founding in 1981!

Our Annual Conference provides the local T&I community with an opportunity to attend valuable, relevant presentations given by prominent industry professionals. It is a fantastic occasion to not only receive continuing education, but also to network with your peers.

AAIT's 5th Annual Conference is to be held on Saturday and Sunday, September 24th and 25th, 2011.
