AETM - the association for Audiovisual & Educational Technology Management

What AETM - the association for Audiovisual & Educational Technology Management does

AETM (Audiovisual & Educational Technology Management Inc) is a not-for-profit professional association founded in 2001 and incorporated in Victoria, Australia. It serves audiovisual and educational technology professionals across the Asia/Pacific region, with the tertiary education sector as its traditional base and expanded membership now covering K-12, TAFE/polytechnic, government, healthcare, museums, and corporate AV suppliers. Member institutions are responsible for AV systems in over 10,000 teaching spaces serving more than one million students.

AETM operates on a community-led, membership-based model with two primary tiers: Premium Membership at A$660/year (Australia), A$600/year (New Zealand), and A$720/year (Asia Pacific), which bundles free AVIXA membership, a conference registration, and access to the proprietary AETM Audio Visual Design Guidelines; and a free Basic Membership offering discounted conference and event access. Additional revenue comes from conference registrations (A$550-A$660), the K-12 Conference, and Corporate Associate Membership tiers (Gold and Silver) for AV vendors. The association is governed by an 11-person volunteer committee led by President Scott Doyle, with seven employees supporting operations.

The association's core activities include professional development, industry standards development, annual conferences (2026 in Ballarat, Victoria), regional chapter meetings, webinars, awards programs, and scholarship initiatives delivered through the Integrate Education Program. International collaboration is a defining feature, with formalized relationships spanning AVIXA (global), CAUDIT (Australasia), SCHOMS (UK), and ETC (US), as well as media partnerships with AV Magazine Asia Pacific and Connected Magazine. AETM does not develop commercial software products or proprietary technology platforms; its primary intellectual asset is the AETM Audio Visual Design Guidelines and its brand position as the peak body for AV and educational technology management in the region.
