Continuing an initiative from AC20, we will donate to causes related to social justice. Last year we supported The Loveland Foundation and HighSight Chicago. Once again our host committee will be donating to two non profits: one working in Seattle and the other working nationally or globally.

We understand that everyone might not be comfortable with attending an in-person conference this year. We’ve made it possible for you to attend in whatever way makes the most sense for you and your school!

Your In-Person Pass allows you to attend the event in Seattle and experience everything you’d expect from our Annual Conference: inspiring keynotes, actionable sessions, Idea Factory un-conference, affinity meetups, and plenty of opportunities for networking. In-person attendees can also purchase a pre-conference workshop.

Your Online Pass gives your entire school an unlimited number of online conference registrants for one price. Your team will be able to watch keynotes online, enjoy special online-only sessions, and access the best-of-the-best in-person sessions. In addition, you’ll enjoy access to session recordings for a full year after the event!
Want to attend in-person and also give your school access to the online conference? An All-Access Pass is the way to go. You’ll be able to attend in Seattle while still registering an unlimited number of your school employees for the online conference. Want to bring more attendees from your school to Seattle? Purchase additional In-Person Passes or pre-conference workshops.

Looking for in-person training and support in your role as an enrollment leader, but don’t want to attend the rest of the conference? We’ve got you covered.

The Pre-Con Pass is available for Admission Training Institute (for new admission associates), Future Leaders (for admission associates aspiring to a leadership role) or the Admission Directors Institute (for new directors of admission or enrollment management).

Providing a safer environment for our conference attendees, staff, and partners is our top priority. Achieving this is a shared responsibility. In-person attendees at AC21 will follow appropriate safety guidelines as set forth by King County Washington and our venue partner, the Sheraton Grand.
In-person attendance may be limited based on social distancing guidelines and other appropriate safety measures. We anticipate that COVID-19 guidelines will change as we move through the spring and summer.
We understand everyone has a different level of comfort, and we hope our hybrid approach to AC21 will provide an opportunity for everyone to participate fully in the conference.
To see the latest safety, social distancing, mask wearing, and other guidelines in place, please visit the appropriate pages for King County Washington and our venue partner.
