Looking Back: EVENTS EVENTS EVENTS

This month has been EPIC for AAA Play, attending several events, expos and conferences, and we're not slowing down. We are connecting with so many people and spreading the word to get everyone active!

If you follow us on Facebook, you possibly already know about the awareness and information presentations we've been LIVE streaming. You loved them so much, you've asked for resources. We like to listen and we like to support you, so we're excited to announce our new past events resources page on the AAA Play website. We'll be putting up the video links and presentation slides of each event as they come available.
