  • Q: What are my opportunities for networking? 

    A: Networking opportunities at the AIR Forum are designed to help you engage with current colleagues and meet new contacts. Respondents to a previous AIR Forum survey said networking was the #2 reason they attended the conference! 

    The Exhibit Hall: AIR's networking hub provides ample opportunity to meet and mingle with colleagues. Two receptions, breaks, and on-your-own lunch breaks all take place in the Exhibit Hall. Charging ports are available to keep you connected. Build your network of solution experts by visiting our sponsor booths; learn about the latest tools and services for IR and related fields and gain new partners for success. 

    Poster, “Ask an Expert,” and Product Demonstration sessions are also located in the Exhibit Hall.

    • Post to the activity feed and like other attendees' posts. 
    • Play the app game to help facilitate conversations with sponsors. 
    • Share your feedback by taking surveys and answering poll questions. 

    Social Media: Take networking online and interact with fellow attendees through #AIRForum threads. Here are some tips: 

    • Include the hashtag #AIRForum in all conference-related posts. 
    • Mention the hashtag during other networking opportunities and encourage attendees to live-post their thoughts! 
    • Share your social media handles so networking can continue, even after the conference. 
    • Connect with AIR on X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and AIR Hub

    Note: A previously offered networking opportunity that is not available this year is AIR pre-arranged dinner groups. AIR is unable to pre-arrange any dinner groups this year due to group dining requirements of the local restaurants. Attendees are free to arrange their own groups, but we strongly suggest checking with the intended restaurant in advance.

  • Q: Why did AIR choose Denver as the 2024 conference location?

    A: Due to the size and scope of the AIR Forum, locations must be booked up to five years in advance. AIR alternates destinations around the U.S. in an attempt to provide the majority of AIR stakeholders with equal access to conference locations. In addition to accessible travel options, AIR strives to maintain affordable registration and related costs, and considers logistical criteria in site selection that include the cost of meeting space, hotel room rates, ease of travel to a location, local amenities around the site, local and regional incentives, and other considerations that allow us to provide a pleasant and affordable experience for attendees. For more information, visit AIR Forum Site Selection Criteria.  

  • Q: Who do I contact with any questions I may have?
    A: Visit the Contact Us page and a member of the AIR Forum team will be happy to assist you.
