The AERA Annual Meeting is the world's largest gathering of education researchers and a showcase for groundbreaking, innovative studies in an array of areas. The 2026 Annual Meeting is a place-based conference being held in Los Angeles, California April 8-12.
Using the App
Make the most of the 2026 AERA Annual Meeting with the mobile app! With the app, you can:
• Create a personal schedule within the mobile app.
• Stay organized with up-to-the-minute Speaker, Exhibitor, and Event information
• Receive important real-time communications from AERA
• Find attendees, schedule meetings, and chat with colleagues
• Locate sessions and exhibitors on the venue maps
• Visit the Virtual Exhibit Hall in addition to the placed-based Exhibit Hall
• Stay in-the-know through the AERA Social Wall
• Post your event photos and share your experiences on the Activity Feed
• Find local Los Angeles restaurants, shopping, medical facilities, and places of worship
• And much, much more
The names of speakers are not linked to the people search. The app does not link to the website interface so you have to recreate the schedule. Once you find a session, the names of presenters are not listed. Functions like being able to chat or network with others are not useful because no one is signed up so this feature could be dropped entirely. There are no useful maps to find out where to go. I do not recommend this app for conferences.
Less functionality from 2023 and that is saying something!

When you look up people it doesn’t list their presentations! That was the only function I really used to navigate last year. Now you have to know the name of the session and use a convoluted search function and it still may not find it. How come I couldn’t find my own session!? All this money for registration and a non usable app!
Very Frustrating

First time attending AERA & this app was a disaster to navigate. So many poor designs on this app it’s difficult to know where to begin. Here are things to consider for next year:1) make all sessions searchable by presenters’ names2) allow individuals to search for sessions by topics3) include presentations under participants profiles4) upload slideshow presentations in each session on the app for easy access & downloads (with presenter’s consent, of course)5) completely scratch this attempt at making your own app and just use the WHOVA app like CEC does every year that already has all of these features already embedded & works flawlessly.
Times out

This timed out for each calendar day I tried to look at. I was just trying to test to see if my items saved online were appearing in the app. The items I added were on Sunday and I couldn’t even get to Sunday because the app would time out on every day, so I consider this useless at this point.
We're always working hard to optimize our app with the latest technologies and best new features. This version includes a number of UI/UX improvements as well as stability enhancements.
Enjoy!
