Join IAEE DC Chapter’s Team at the 2026 AHA Heart Walk

November 7, 2026

Sign up to walk with us to support the 2026 IAEE DC Chapter in honor of Terence Donnelly, CMP, CEM, a longtime chapter member who survived an unexpected cardiac arrest in 2018 due to someone trained and prepared to perform CPR. Heart health matters in every industry - ours included! If you'd like to help raise funds, learn more by contacting iaeedc@gmail.com. Closer to the AHA Walk we will send details on meeting time and place. For those available, we will gather afterward for coffee, mimosas and breakfast.

Sign up today!

  • I am a member of IAEE, and particularly the DC chapter of IAEE, because it is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences I have ever encountered in this Industry. My membership with IAEE has taken me to places that I only dreamed of! Because of IAEE, I have been able to teach CEM classes all over the country and in other parts of the world! The Networking opportunities and the camaraderie of belonging to the DC chapter are HUGE benefits of membership. If I had to prioritize where to spend my “marketing dollars,” my first choice would be with IAEE.

  • I have been a member of IAEE for over 30 years, starting with the early NAEM days, to IAEM, and now through IAEE. Throughout this journey, the DC chapter has provided me with invaluable networking opportunities and educational experiences thanks to the incredible peers I've encountered. My interactions within and beyond the chapter have significantly contributed to my growth and have played a crucial role in shaping me into the successful professional I am today at Freeman. Freeman has collaborated with the local chapter in various capacities, and we have greatly valued the opportunity to support and work alongside such exceptional leadership. Our shared commitment is to deliver the highest quality service and education to our customers, incorporating the latest trends and data to ensure mutual success.
    Susan D Haning, CEM, CMP

  • As someone deeply passionate about the world of exhibitions and events, being a part of IAEE holds immense importance to me. I have been a part of the organization for many years and have made some incredible connections and made some valuable friendships along the way. Because of IAEE, I have had the opportunity to teach globally and to have very special experiences that I will always appreciate. I highly recommend that if you are in the industry, you should be involved with IAEE!
