ACA 2017 Conference & Expo Will Be Held in San Francisco

Jun 13, 2016

HB1840/SB1556 denies services to those most in need, targets the counseling profession, and is a violation of ACA’s Code of Ethics. In light of its passage, ACA members vocalized their opinions about the location of the conference, and after much discussion and consideration, it was determined that it would not be held in Tennessee.

The ACA leadership team received 13 bids from cities across the country and determined that San Francisco was the best option. The 2017 Conference & Expo will take place March 16-19, 2017 at the Moscone West Convention Center. (Pre-conference Learning Institutes: March 15-16).

“This is a historic time for ACA as we have never had to make a decision like this before. We believe that San Francisco will be an enjoyable and active city for our conference,” says Richard Yep, CEO of ACA. “This change signals that we are committed to serving our diverse members and helping them provide the support their clients need.”

Summer rates have been extended through midnight ET on September 30, 2016.

September is Suicide Prevention Month

As one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., suicide can affect all ages and types of people. While suicide is often associated with feelings of loneliness and isolation, it is a shared and far-reaching public health problem. 

Throughout the month of September, ACA joins mental health organizations around the country in recognizing Suicide Prevention Month. Help us raise awareness, break the stigma and ensure care is available for all who need it.
