Annual ACRES Conference
Registration is now open!
ACRES is known for being a warm and welcoming conference, especially for first time presenters, practitioners, and students. We offer multiple session types, as well as plenty of opportunities to make connections through shared meals (breakfast and lunch), receptions, and other social events that are all included in the registration fee.

Conference Registration and Payment
Although
we encourage all interested parties to consider joining our
organization, membership is not required to be a presenter or a
non-presenting attendee. We include reduced rates for student members
and non-members, and encourage faculty members to support
graduate students in attending this outstanding conference for research
dissemination, professional development, and networking opportunities. Please check to see if you have an existing account before creating a new one!
Presenters who wish to be included in the conference program MUST register and pay for the conference by March 1.
