Annual Conference
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.
2023 Annual Conference
The 2023 Association for Pre-College Program Directors Annual Conference will be held at the University of Southern California (USC), October 23 - 24, 2023. This year’s conference will feature the return of a seminar for those new to pre-college (and potential additional pre-conference) in the evening on Sunday, October 22. General programming will begin on Monday, October 23.
Hotel Reservations
We have booked a block of rooms at the USC Hotel for $199/night + 16% sales tax. We would like to encourage you to stay at the USC Hotel, as it is conveniently located, walkable to all conference activities, and the room rate is very competitive for the area.
The group rate will be honored from 10/20 through 10/26 based on hotel space and rate availability. There are a limited number of rooms under our block but the hotel has agreed to honor the rate as long as rooms are available – so please book your room as soon as possible. Information concerning how to book your reservation online will be circulated in our quarterly newsletter and in the appropriate APCPD Slack channel.
