Our first-ever Regional Education Meetings (REMs) and Workshops launched in early 2025 with events in the Midwest and South. These inaugural meetings laid the foundation for our vision of expanding to all four geographic regions of the United States.
Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to continue this momentum by hosting three REMs across the South, Northeast, and Midwest. This expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to making these offerings accessible to PA educators nationwide.
Bring a Regional Education Meeting to Your Campus
PAEA invites member programs to submit proposals to host a Regional Education Meeting (REM) at their institution. REMs are regional, conference-style events that provide meaningful opportunities for PA educators to gather, share best practices, and strengthen professional connections.
Now in their third year, these meetings continue to expand opportunities for regional collaboration across the Northeast, South, and Midwest.
PAEA’s Learning team leads the planning and logistics for the meeting and covers all associated meeting expenses. Selected host programs collaborate with our team to support local coordination and provide a welcoming campus setting.
If your program is interested in helping bring this experience to educators in your region, we encourage you to apply.

Share Your Expertise at a Regional Education Meeting
Presenting at a Regional Education Meeting (REM) is an excellent opportunity to grow professionally, build connections, and share your expertise with the PA education community. These sessions focus on addressing the unique and pressing issues facing PA education within each region.
PAEA invites members to submit proposals to lead REM sessions, providing a platform to highlight your knowledge, share best practices, and contribute to meaningful conversations that advance PA education.
The 2025 submission period is now closed. Information about the next call for REM session proposals will be shared here once available.
