AAMVA’s 2024 Annual International Conference (AIC), September 24-26, in Atlanta, Georgia, was a huge success. AAMVA’s immediate past Chair of the Board Spencer R. Moore and the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) welcomed over 1,100 attendees for three days of engaging sessions and fun events. Our record-breaking crowd was enthusiastic and excited to see one another, learn, and share information and resources. From lessons on an integrated safety system, to electronic vehicle titling deployment and customer service, 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 at events like the Peer-to-Peer Roundtables, Chair’s Welcome Reception and QuickConnect. Attendees also had the unique opportunity to engage in immersive learning experiences at locations around Atlanta, including a tour of a Georgia DDS Customer Service Center, visiting the Georgia State Patrol Headquarters, Rivian test drives at the Ponce City Market Showroom and a tour of the Shepherd Center.

Throughout the conference, we raised $25,276 for the Shepherd Center Foundation. Located in Atlanta, Shepherd Center is a private, not-for-profit hospital specializing in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spine and chronic pain, and other neuromuscular conditions. The Shepherd Center Foundation relies on donations to fund programs that change the lives of patients and their families. Thank you for your generosity and hard work to make this fundraiser successful!

The 2024 AIC also saw the outstanding work of our members recognized at the Awards Luncheon, including recognizing our Lifetime Achievement in Highway Safety Award winners, Firoz Mohamed from Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction and Colonel Melissa A. Zebley, Delaware State Police, retired.

The conference concluded with the Georgia State Banquet and the swearing in of our new International Board of Directors, including Chair of the Board Eric Jorgensen, who invited everyone to Phoenix, Arizona, for the 2025 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 Phoenix!
