First-Time Attendees

Welcome to the AACRAO Annual Meeting! We are thrilled that you have come to the premier professional development meeting for higher education administrators. AACRAO is a recognized authority in Enrollment Management, Admissions, Records, Registration, Financial Aid, Information Technology, and Student Services. We hope that you have an educational, informative, and enjoyable experience at the Annual Meeting.

Stop at the First Timers Welcome Booth located near the conference registration area, where we will provide you with conference information, directions, and answers to your questions. 

Don't miss the AACRAO First-Time Attendees' Orientation and Welcome on Sunday, April 1, 3:45 – 4:45 p.m. This is an opportunity for you to meet other first-time attendees, have a snack, and learn more about AACRAO. Many say the best part of the Orientation is the small group discussions led by long-time AACRAO members. Thank you to National Student Clearinghouse for sponsoring the event.

Take a peek at the First Time Attendee Handbook. It outlines the “what and who” of AACRAO, things to know about and how to get involved in AACRAO, and details about this particular conference.

Don't forget to review "Tips for First-Time Attendees," where you will also find several helpful hints. We look forward to welcoming you to Philadelphia!
