As many of you have heard, the Raleigh Convention Center experienced a significant fire on Monday evening. We’re deeply grateful that no one was injured, though the building did sustain damage. The full extent of that damage, and the timeline for repairs to ensure a safe guest experience, won’t be fully known for several days or even weeks. As a result, our only path forward is to cancel the 2025 AENC Trade Show & Speaker Showcase. We know this will be disappointing and inconvenient for many, and we will genuinely miss gathering with you next week. At the same time, we’re committed to standing with and supporting our RCC partners as they navigate this unexpected challenge. For our Trade Show exhibitors and sponsors, we’ll be reaching out over the coming days to review next steps and process refunds.

SPAM WARNING: Trade Shows are notoriously targets for phishing and other spam emails promoting ways to purchase the attendee list or a hotel room. AENC does not charge for (or sell) our attendee list. We will send the full list of attendees out to Exhibitors in the days leading up to the event (when the list actually exists). Also, the only room block we currently have is the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel at the link above. If you see another email advertising hotel rooms that is not from AENC.
