2026 AEC Call for Abstracts is Now Open!

Abstract submission will remain open until August 1st, 2026. 

It is a pleasure to invite you to our Annual Education Conference! This year will be a bit different as Colorado Environmental Health Association is partnering with the Western Association of Food and Drug Officials and Rocky Mountain Food Safety Conference for our first ever Mega-AEC!

The conference will be at Sheraton Denver West Hotel at 360 Union Blvd. Lakewood, CO 80228 from Monday September 21 to Thursday September 24, 2026.

There are several benefits to being a speaker at this extraordinary conference. You will have free same day admission to the conference and access to all the tracks available, or a discounted full conference pass. You will also have the opportunity to network with your colleagues and get practical feedback if you are interested. You will also be providing a community service by providing education, professional development and potentially developing consistency amongst peers.

There are several techniques that make a good presentation for the AEC. Most important is ensuring that the topic of discussion is relevant to environmental public health. More often then not, most presentations are informative, whether they be through program updates, stories about collaboration, and examples from the field. The majority of presenters opt for a PowerPoint, which will be supported by the AEC planning committee. Generally, a good presentation that uses PowerPoint supplements the limited text and many pictures in the slideshow with discussion off the screen. You will have an assigned track lead whose role is to help support and prepare you for the conference. Track presentation sessions usually last 40 minutes.
