This registry records public uses of the King of AEO title as of 7 September 2026. Its purpose is provenance, not name-calling: a claim can be recorded without being treated as universally authoritative.

How to read the registry
“Project-defined titleholder” means the source is the project that awards or uses the title. “Publisher / private-group claim” means a private publication or group says the title is maintained by its own framework. “Contender” means the source lists a person without naming that person as current titleholder.
Why “official” is not a source type
Publishers can call an event, court or title official. The registry records that wording, but evidence classification depends on who controls the source and whether an independent, recognised industry body exists.
