  • Can I present a workshop at your conference?
    Stay tuned for the call for presentations scheduled for late October 2024.
  • Will the conference sessions be recorded so that we can go back to watch the ones we missed?
    We are unable to offer recordings of the 2025 sessions.
  • Can I bring my spouse with me and stay on campus this year?
    We have a few rooms that will accommodate married couples. Please email April McKinion to see if space is available before you register. The attendee will need to register for double occupancy on the Conference Registration Form and put their spouse down as their roommate. Then the spouse will need to fill out the Guest Registration Form and add double occupancy for each night they plan to stay on campus as well as any meals they plan to eat.
  • Can my guest attend the conference sessions with me? 
    Your guest is invited to add any desired on-campus meals to their Guest Registration form and eat those meals with you. They are welcome to join the morning devotions and attend your presentation if you are a workshop presenter. However, please note that all other conference sessions are integral parts of the program and have costs associated with them. If your guest wishes to participate in these sessions, it is recommended that they register as an attendee rather than a guest.
  • Has the location been determined for the 2026 ACL Conference?
    Not at this time.
