2025 Conference Program

The 2025 Call for conference proposals has ended and speakers will be informed about their selection in just a few weeks! The emphasis of any AVTE conference is on community growth through our own members sharing knowledge, skills, experience, and recognition. Educators know that peer to peer learning is one of the most effective techniques.

What else can you look forward to?
