Hosting a Reception, Social, or Event at ACPA23
Whether your goal is to outreach to potential new students or employees, connect with alumni and friends, or uphold a longstanding ACPA tradition, hosting an event for your institution, entity group, or organization is a great way to become part of Convention at ACPA23!
In addition to receptions, ancillary requests can be submitted to spaces used for non-educational programs. These could include meetings and other get-togethers.
If a program will be educational in nature, it needs to be submitted as an Educational Session Proposal. We will not have space in New Orleans to accommodate programs that should have been submitted as an Educational Session.
Process for Requests
Ancillary Space Requests for ACPA Entity Groups are due Friday, 23 September, 2022. Ancillary space requests for external institutions and organizations are due Friday, 4 November 2022. Notification regarding the specific location, date, and time of your event will take place by Friday, 9 December 2022.
