Special Opportunities for Students!
We encourage ASABE student members to get involved in AETC.
Free Registration
Undergraduate and graduate student members can apply for free registration to attend! This is available through the generous support of AETC sponsors. Registration is limited, apply here.
Polish Your Professional Skills
You can also submit your abstract to be a poster presenter during the Poster Session and Competition. Both graduate and undergraduate can participate. Submit this form to bell@asabe by January 31 to enter. The Student Poster Session and Competition is sponsored by John Deere.
Not an ASABE member? For a limited time, undergraduates can join at no cost. And at only $40, our graduate student rate is a modest investment that will pay for itself many times over.
Great Networking Options
During the conference, there are many opportunities to network besides the daily coffee breaks and lunches that are included with your registration.

Since 1986, ASABE has sponsored the AE50 Awards honoring innovative products brought into the market this year by companies around the globe. For several years now, the awards have been presented during the AETC due to the similarity between products being awarded and session topics. You can expect to hear presentations from select awardees during the AE50 Showcase sessions during the conference. If you have a qualifying product that is new to the market this year, nominate it for consideration; submissions are being accepted until September 25. For details on how to submit and information on the past winning products, visit www.asabe.org/AE50. Be sure to attend our AE50 Awards Luncheon honoring the award winners on Tuesday during AETC.
