Seeds of Innovation
The theme for the 2012 AAA Annual Meeting is "Seeds of Innovation." This theme focuses on the broad need for greater innovation in accounting scholarship. The hope is to engage all members in a conversation about how better to enhance the discipline as a whole in terms of intellectual vitality. While much of the format for the 2012 meeting will be similar to recent AAA annual meetings, it is expected that an important component will focus on new developments in related fields as well as new means for educating the students entrusted to us. The aspiration for the 2012 AAA Annual Meeting is to provide an exemplary resource for members to gain new knowledge and develop their long-term scholarly interests.

On August 4–8, 2012, the American Accounting Association (AAA) will hold its Annual Meeting at the Gaylord National Hotel in Washington, D.C.
