ACA Conference

ACA's 2022 Conference & Expo is the premier professional development and networking event for licensed professional counselors, students and mental health professionals. This year we are heading back to face-to-face to connect, engage and learn on Thursday, April 7, 2022, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA.

Registration for ACA's 2022 Conference & Expo will open on Tuesday, February 1, 2022. For registration costs, accommodation details, a look at the conference schedule and more information on the 2022 ACA Conference & Expo, please visit our conference webpage.

COVID-19 Requirements:

• Vaccination requirement: Full COVID-19 vaccination is required for all registrants, guests, and/or conference participants. ACA uses the CDC definition of full COVID-19 vaccination. We're currently working to identify an automated vaccination verifying service, and more information will be shared well in advance of April.
• Face masks requirement: Properly worn face masks are required while in all ACA Conference spaces, which include but are not limited to: meeting rooms, the exhibit hall, the registration area, the bookstore, and shuttle buses. Any conference participant not wearing a face mask will be asked to leave the conference.

2022 ACA Annual Conference & Expo – COVID-19 Vaccine FAQs:

Will there be a virtual conference option for those who are not vaccinated and cannot attend in person?

Currently, ACA is exploring options for a separate virtual conference to take place in fall 2022. The ACA Annual Conference & Expo in April is a distinct event and will not have a virtual component. If a separate virtual conference is scheduled for this coming fall, the two events will have separate costs and registration guidelines and will not be interchangeable.

Is the vaccination requirement a state mandate for Georgia or just an ACA requirement?

The conference vaccination requirement is specific to our organization and reflects expert recommendations from the healthcare community. As a professional association concerned with fostering health and well-being, ACA is committed to safeguarding the health and safety of our staff and all attendees at our events.

We hope you'll join us as we celebrate, build community and learn at ACA's 2022 Conference & Expo!
