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.
You can help select the non-profits by completing this short survey!

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.

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.
On August 18th Washington Governor Jay Inslee announced “a vaccination requirement for employees working in K-12, most childcare and early learning, and higher education, as well as an expansion of the statewide mask mandate to all individuals for indoor activities, regardless of vaccination status.” In order to provide a safer environment we’ve updated our AC21 in-person COVID-19 safety guidelines.
All in-person participants will be required to:
• Wear a face mask (EMA will provide each participant three KF94 masks)
• Be fully vaccinated according to CDC guidelines
• Complete this declaration of COVID-19 vaccination before your arrival in Seattle
COVID-19 safety procedures already in place include:
• Enhanced cleaning
• Enhanced air handling
• Contact tracing
• Social distancing
• Modified food handling
COVID-19 guidelines may continue to evolve and we understand everyone has a different level of comfort. We hope our hybrid approach to AC21 will provide an opportunity for everyone to participate fully in the conference. To see the additional information regarding safety, social distancing, mask wearing, and other guidelines, please visit the appropriate pages for Governor Inslee and our venue partner.
If you are unable to complete the declaration of COVID-19 vaccination we will be happy to change your In-Person Pass to an All-School Online Pass. If you have questions regarding changing a different pass please contact your EMA representative.
