NEHA  AEC Wrap-Up

Exhibition

The 2023 AEC Exhibit Hall was bus- tling with excitement on Monday, July 31, and Tuesday, August 1. As the confer- ence was offered in person and virtually, attendees could connect with exhibitors in the Exhibit Hall or through the confer- ence app. Attendees were also able to set up face-to-face meetings with the exhibitors during Exhibit Hall hours. Rep- resentatives from the exhibiting compa- nies and organizations were available to answer attendee questions and display their products and services. Overall, there were 54 booths for attendees to visit and learn from. We were excited to have more exhibitors this year, which was a com- bination of everyone’s favorites as well as many new exhibitors. And as in past years, the Poster Session was held in the Exhibit Hall for attendees to peruse the posters and engage with the presenters. The Exhibition Grand Opening on Mon- ėñǖ͓΁eƷşǖ΁͓̓̑ ΁ǐñƣ΁Ȍ΁şşğė΁ǐňƯł΁ñƯƯğŪėğğƣ΁ǐłŵ΁ made new connections and discovered new products, all while enjoying an assort- ment of food and beverages.

On the second day, Tuesday, August 1, the Exhibit Hall was the place to be. Dem- onstrations were offered in the Exhibit Hall

during the morning and afternoon breaks. The morning demonstration was spon- sored and presented by HS GovTech. The afternoon demonstration was sponsored and presented by the Bloomberg American Health Initiative. So many people attended the demonstrations that chairs were pulled over from anywhere they could be found and hotel staff rushed to bring in additional seating. We appreciate the hard work of the hotel staff to accommodate this unex- pected number of attendees. For the third year in a row, HS GovTech was the Presenting Sponsor of the AEC. HS GovTech also sponsored the inaugural Environmental Health Photo Exhibit. NSF sponsored the conference Wi-Fi and Tyler Technologies sponsored the conference app. In addition, the photo booth at the Raising Your Voice Networking Event was sponsored by Hedgerow Software, which always leads to a lot of attendee creativity, memory-making, and fun. Rounding out our support was Accela through its spon-

sorship of the Data & Technology edu- cational session track and awarding four scholarships to attend the 2023 AEC. We thank all of the 2023 AEC exhibitors and sponsors. We could not put on a pre- mier event of this magnitude without your participation and generosity. The knowl- edge, products, and services you shared are vital to the success of our attendees in their work to ensure healthier environ- ments for all. You are appreciated!
