Our Regional Education Meetings (REMs) bring together colleagues from across the region to build connections, exchange ideas, and learn from one another in a collaborative, welcoming environment. Designed around networking and community, REMs offer valuable opportunities to strengthen professional relationships, share best practices, and explore challenges and innovations with peers who understand your regional context.
In addition to dedicated networking time, each meeting features peer-led concurrent sessions, engaging general sessions, and opportunities to work with your peers on relevant challenges in PA education.
Below are the dates to save for 2027. 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.
