Registration

Papers may be submitted by a single author or a group of authors. For each paper, a single “presenting author” is designated on the project submission form – usually the person who will present the project at the Convention. The presenting author for each project must be an active AES Student Member and will be required to acquire the Student All Access Badge for the Convention. This badge is required for all presenting authors. No additional registration fee will be required.


Presenting Authors, please wait for instructions that will be sent out with the acceptance information.

Feedback & Recognition

Students will receive feedback from the Jury regarding their submitted entries. Feedback will be provided in written form as well as orally during the presentation session at the Expo. Students will also receive confirmation of their attendance at the Expo, and outstanding projects will be recognized by the Jury for their excellence.
