Conferences & Events

The Association of Airport Internal Auditors (AAIA) had its first conference in 1990 in Orlando, Florida, and, through 2019, hosted 30 consecutive conferences that have met the needs and interests of Airport Internal Auditors. Then the COVID-19 Pandemic struck and the 31^st Annual Conference was rescheduled from June 2020 to September 2021 in Clearwater, Florida, and was hosted by Tampa International Airport.

Most recently, the 34thAnnual Conference was held during June 2024. The conference was hosted by San Antonio International Airport, in San Antonio Texas.

The 35th AAIA Annual Conference will be hosted by the Denver International Airport in Denver, Colorado. More information will be posted to the website as it becomes available!

Want to Host a Conference at YOUR Airport?
Airports that host an AAIA Conference generate an economic benefit for their community, have the opportunity to showcase their region and their airport, and provide low cost professional development and networking opportunities for their staff.

AAIA Virtual Roundtable

You can engage with fellow AAIA members to ask, share, and learn in a lively on-line discussion platform while earning NASBA approved CPE credit - for free! The next AAIA Virtual Forum will be held on September 17, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. EST with up to 1.5 CPE. It will be a panel discussion with a focus on Airport parking. Three moderators will facilitate discussion around participant questions, as well as share parking strategies, tips, and how-to's.

It was determined to change the name of the virtual forum calls to Virtual Roundtable to minimize confusion with the Forum message board.

Beginning in December 2020, the AAIA began offering Virtual Roundtable calls with NASBA approved CPE credits.
