ACSN 2023 Annual Conference
July 24 - 26

 
ACSN invites all alumni career and professional development professionals to join us for our annual conference, #ACSN2023.  This year’s conference will be held in the historical city of New Orleans, LA, founded in 1718. Drawing inspiration from the history of not only the city itself, but also that of our nation, we will challenge attendees to design, create, and build new systems and approaches to the cornerstones of our profession.

Whether you are new to alumni career services or have been doing this work for many years, the ACSN conference is an opportunity to build connections and share best practices and experiences with people who truly understand the work you do. 

Come to New Orleans, where you can get to know your people and have a good time doing it!

Keynote Speaker

“Unleashing the Leader Within: A Roadmap for Personal and Professional Growth”
Tuesday, July 25th | 8:45 am - 9:30 am

Have you heard the phrase, work ON your business not just IN your business? We are so busy in the cycle of emails, meetings, calls, programming…we are not stopping to sharpen our own saws, fill our own tanks, and invest in creative partnerships and collaborations. If you want to grow and develop as a leader you need to focus on: how you run your department, how you run yourself, and your relationships with your industry peers.  Do you want to feel fulfilled, high impact, and not at the sake of your sanity? This is the keynote for you. Executive Coach Julie Couret will share all the missed opportunities we leave on the table and exactly HOW to implement proven methods so your career works for you!
