Registration Fees

Attendees must register online with a credit card. Your registration is complete when payment is received in full. If you are employed by an ACC member institution, you may register at the member rate. To ensure your name appears correctly on your badge, ACC must receive your registration no later than five (5) business days prior to the start date of the conference. You may still register onsite. Once your payment has been received you will receive an email confirmation receipt. If you do not receive an electronic receipt, please check your spam filter or contact info@chirocolleges.org.

You are eligible for the registration fee of $289 when you book your room at the conference hotel - the Kansas City Downtown Marriott. The registration fee is $389 if you choose to stay at a different location.

Hotel Reservation Procedures & Deadlines

ACC negotiates a special hotel rate for conference attendees; housing is not included in your conference registration fees. You are responsible for making your own hotel reservation.

The deadline is generally three weeks prior to the start of the conference to make your reservations at the special ACC conference rate. Please check the conference website for specific hotel information and make your reservations promptly to ensure room availability at the discounted rate.

Occasionally, room blocks fill before the hotel deadline, although the hotel may have additional rooms at a higher rate. When booking, if you receive notice of sold out room nights, please contact info@chirocolleges.org for assistance.

Registration cancellation and refund requests must be submitted by email to info@chirocolleges.org by February 5, 2027, to be eligible for a refund and are subject to a $50 cancellation fee.
