In 2017, a group of professionals in Houston, Texas, came together with a vision to create an environment with resources and networking opportunities for individuals to enrich their professional careers in economics, market analysis, and data analytics. They called it AIA , short for the Association of Industry Analysts. In 2026, AIA was transitioned to Energy Data Analytics Academy, LLC.
AIA was originally founded as a 501c3 non-profit organization in 2017 by a group of Houston-based professionals. In 2025, AIA transitioned to EDA, an LLC with the same goals. Our mission is to provide a dynamic environment with resources and networking opportunities to enrich the careers and connections of individuals in the analytics industry. We offer a variety of educational content and events to help our members reach new heights in their professional development.
