The 2021 USEA Annual Meeting and Convention is three months away, and this year USEA members will reunite in Area X! Every USEA member is invited to celebrate the 2021 competition season in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Dec. 9-12. The week will be packed with educational seminars, committee meetings, open forums, and the annual awards. Start planning your trip to Albuquerque!

The 2021 Convention will take place at The Hyatt Regency Albuquerque Hotel in the heart of downtown. The Hyatt Regency Albuquerque Hotel is located just off 4th Street SW off Interstate 25, only a short 12-minute drive from Albuquerque International Sunport Airport.

As the largest city in New Mexico, Albuquerque is packed with activities, cultural attractions, and distinctive sightseeing opportunities. Referred to as the hot air ballooning capital of the world, Albuquerque offers hot air balloon flights year-round. While in town, eventers can also visit the historic Route 66 that runs through the heart of the city and leads travelers through some of the city’s most beloved neighborhoods, eclectic shops, and unique restaurants.

Albuquerque is 5,000 above sea level and the average temperature is sunny, low humidity, and warm with an average low of 48 degrees! Albuquerque was listed on the top 10 most affordable vacation destination and the best small city to visit. Albuquerque is also recognized as one of the greenest and most open space cities in the country.
