Annual Conference

Each fall the Association hosts an annual conference for members to exchange ideas, connect with peers, and attend presentations on topics related to pre-college students and program development. The Association advisory board also hosts an annual business meeting at the conference.

2025 Annual Conference

After careful consideration, the APCPD Advisory Board and Conference Committee have made the decision to shift the 2025 conference to a virtual format. This decision comes as many of our member colleges and universities are currently facing travel restrictions, making it challenging for numerous members to commit to and attend an in-person meeting. This shift to a virtual format will ensure broader accessibility for our membership during this time.

The 2025 conference will be held virtually and is free to all Association members. In an effort to reduce virtual fatigue and offer a variety of timely topics, we will be meeting on Fridays in October from 12–2 PM ET. Each session will begin with a full-group conversation followed by breakout sessions focused on specific themes.

Virtual Conference Schedule:

Fri, October 3: New to Pre-College, Board Meeting, and Social
Fri, October 10: Student and Staff Support
Fri, October 17: Marketing and the Student Pipeline
Fri, October 24: Hot Topics: Staffing, Academics, Student Life

Conference registration will launch by mid-September 2025 - stay tuned for more information!
