AAMVA’s 2025 Annual International Conference (AIC) held Sept. 9–11, in Phoenix, Arizona, was a huge success. AAMVA’s immediate past Chair of the Board Eric Jorgensen and the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division welcomed over 1,100 attendees to beautiful Phoenix for three days of exciting sessions and events. Our enthusiastic crowd was engaged throughout our time together, and attendees were excited to see one another, learn and share information and resources. From lessons on artificial intelligence to electronic vehicle titling and mobile driver licenses, this year’s AIC provided a wealth of information for attendees to take home.

Along with learning opportunities, the conference provided the chance to network and consult with peers, with events like the Peer-to-Peer Roundtables, Chair’s Welcome Reception and QuickConnect. Attendees also had the unique opportunity to experience immersive learning experiences at locations around Phoenix, including tours of the Axon Headquarters, South Mountain Motor Vehicle Division office, U-Haul Shoen Family Conference and Fitness Center Tour, Donate Life and Carvana HQ.

Throughout the conference, AAMVA raised $13,223 for the Phoenix Children’s Foundation. Phoenix Children’s Foundation supports Phoenix Children’s mission to advance hope, healing and world-class healthcare for children and their families in Arizona and beyond. They offer many ways to support patients and families, including joining a giving group, attending a Phoenix Children’s event or finding an inspiring hospital program to support. They work to ensure children and families in Arizona have the best pediatric care now and in the future. Thank you for your generosity and hard work in making this fundraiser a success!

The 2025 AIC also recognized the outstanding work of our members at the Awards Luncheon, including the presentation of our Lifetime Achievement in Highway Safety Award to Trooper Barry Marcus of the Washington State Patrol and Lyne Vézina, general manager of Road Safety Research and Development at Société de l’Assurance Automobile du Québec. The conference concluded with the Arizona State Banquet and the swearing in of our new International Board of Directors, including Chair of the Board Bud Craddock, who invited everyone to Providence, Rhode Island, for the 2026 AIC.

Thank you to all conference staff, sponsors, exhibitors and attendees for making this conference a success. We look forward to seeing you at next year’s AIC in Providence!
