Annual Conference First-Timers

View here the 2025 Conference Schedule.

Build your own itinerary based on the events and activities that appeal to you most.

Multiple education sessions will take place concurrently. Once the session schedule is released in June, you can decide which ones to attend during the education blocks.

What not to miss:

• Opening Ceremony and Reception
• General Membership Meeting
• Closing Ceremony and Reception

On-campus housing in the International Village residence hall is a great option for those wanting to sleep in a twin bed AND be closest to the conference action. Each attendee will have their own bedroom attached to a shared bathroom with one other attendee. Book on-campus housing while registering for the conference or by emailing Admin@InternationalACAC.org with your desired check-in and check-out dates.

For hotels, the Hilton Boston Back Bay is located nearest to Northeastern’s campus, and still has room block availability all week. For additional information and other hotel options, please visit the Accommodations webpage.

Review the conference costs document for all prices. The cost of staying on-campus depends on the date you book your accommodations.

Learn everything you need to know by visiting the Pre-Conference Institute website!

International ACAC has limited ability to interact with or advise on visa granting agencies and processes. For many, having an invitation letter to attend the conference is helpful in supporting their visa application. If you would like an invitation letter to support your visa application, submit the following form:

2025 Conference Invitation Letter Request Form

International ACAC issues these invitation letters once a week, so please submit your request far enough in advance.

For more information about the U.S. Visa Process, please consult the following resources:

• Use the Visa Wizard to determine whether you need a visa to travel to the USA.
• Learn more about the Visitor Visa B and Visa Waiver Program.
• Look up the U.S. Consulate of Embassy nearest you.

You don't need to! The only events that you need to register for are the Special Events. Everything else included on the conference schedule (sessions, meals, networking breaks, Conference Chats, Exhibit Hall, opening and closing receptions, etc.) is free and open to all registered attendees.
