2026 AAMC CGEA Conference

Poster Session Assignments

Join us for a special evening honoring the legacy and future of the CGEA. As we gather during this historic final CGEA meeting in its current form, this celebration offers space to reflect, connect, and celebrate the people and contributions that have defined our community. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres and a champagne toast as we recognize award recipients, including the CGEA Laureate. Whether you are new to CGEA or a long standing member, this moment is one we hope you will share with us as we close one chapter and look ahead together.

Live music and a special segment featuring artist Anne Labovitz will add to the spirit of the evening, creating moments of reflection, creativity, and connection.
