The time has arrived! We are excited to announce that the Sponsor|Exhibitor portal for the 35th Annual International ACCT Conference & Expo is live! We have moved to a new platform that we hope will make this process easy for you, and provide you with an enhanced experience. We at ACCT greatly value our conference supporters and want to ensure we are providing an experience that makes you feel seen and heard with more hands on, one to one communication from our staff. You can access the portal by clicking here or visiting the conference website.

Upon accessing the portal, there will be an option to continue as a member or non member. Members in good standing receive discounted booth purchase. You must use your member login to access the member rate. If you are not a member and would like to become one, you can do so by visiting our membership page.

If you're considering sponsoring and/or exhibiting but you’re unsure of the best option for your team, we urge you to contact Brittany by phone at (720) 204-8823 or by email at events@acctinfo.org.

We are excited to announce the launch of our newly updated Vendor Accreditation Program! This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring the highest standards of quality and service across all our partnerships.

The new program includes:

Enhanced criteria and transparency for accreditation
More administrative oversight
Increased support and resources for vendors

We believe this updated program will not only elevate our vendors but also foster trust, and more quality assurance with the services they offer.

Educators Need a Shared Mental Model for
Co-Facilitation

Why is this skill missing from training?
by Kristina Riggs & co-authors Mark Suroviec, M.ED. and John Losey

Throughout my 20 years in experiential education, I've often had to perform one particular facilitation skill without formal training. What responsibility are professionals expected to master without the typical level of practice and preparation?

Co-facilitation.

Co-facilitation is not a new topic for those who regularly lead teams or students through experiences and reflection. However, how we define the term may lead to vastly different planning and delivery methods.

In discussions with other professionals, they have similar gaps in their formal education. Have you ever received official training on smoothly serving alongside another facilitator? If not, you are not alone.
