2026 Region II Conference

Regional Conferences provide annual educational and networking opportunities for students and professionals. They focus on building community, offering professional development, expanding networks, connecting with mentors, and learning skills that can translate to any career. These conferences have been designed with a renewed focus on emerging professionals and students to help them connect with others, share ideas, and learn best practices. Participants will leave regional conferences with new knowledge and skills to be competent in their campus roles and to communicate effectively with a wide range of diverse colleagues. Specifically, as a result of this program, they will understand their role as campus community builders, current trends and challenges within the profession, and how to apply theories in practical settings. Additionally, both students and staff will experience personal and professional growth through reflection and gain a professional network on which they can rely for problem-solving advice in the future. It is expected that programming content includes information from all of ACUI's Core Competencies.
