What’s in Store at the AAA Annual Convention 2026?

  • More opportunities for attendees to network and visit the Expo: Plenty of food and beverages in the Expo drives attendee traffic. Attendees can enjoy a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or tasty treats while they stroll the aisles and meet with you. Seating areas, education in the hall and hands-on activities keep attendees on the show floor.
  • Non-compete hours: We understand how important it is to build relationships with our member audiologists so we will allow dedicated time for attendees to visit the Expo without any other conference activities occurring on the schedule.
  • Professional Headshot Studio: A perennial attendee favorite! Every professional needs a good headshot for networking and business opportunities. Inside the Expo, in a designated area, a professional photographer will capture portraits (headshots) of the attendees.
  • HearTECH Hub: Sponsored by leading hearing industry leaders like Oticon, Phonak, ReSound, Starkey, Signia, Widex, and Cochlear, attendees participate in featured education, presentations, and learning opportunities throughout the day on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The Hub is also a great spot to network, build connections, and share ideas with attendees and colleagues.
  • Recharge Lounge: Take a break and network with friends and colleagues at the same time! The Recharge Lounge, featuring comfortable furniture and a cell phone charging station, is a destination for attendees to take a break, relax, recharge, and connect during Expo show hours.
  • Paws and Relax: Back by popular demand! Who doesn’t want to snuggle up to a pup? Well, you are in luck! The Academy is once again teaming up a foster-based, non-profit rescue group, to bring you little bundles of joy to play with during your conference experience. Stop by to receive unconditional love from some happy pups.
