What Upcoming Events Does ACPA Have?

ACPA (myacpa.org) lists upcoming professional development events on its website, and the ones currently posted are all online. They fall into three formats: multi-week institutes and academies, single-session ACPA2GO webinars, and a multi-day conference. If you are a student affairs or higher education professional looking for virtual training, these are the events to check. Details and registration are handled through the ACPA website, so confirm dates, times, and any fees there before planning around them.

Upcoming events at a glance

What each type of event involves

Multi-week institutes and academies

The Fall 2026 Supervisor Strengths Institute is described as training to become a more effective supervisor and show up authentically in your leadership role. The Fall 2026 Strengths Accelerator Academy is run in partnership with Strengths University and carries a similar supervision-and-strengths focus. Both run from September 22 to November 17, 2026, so expect a sustained commitment across roughly two months rather than a one-off session.

ACPA2GO webinars

ACPA2GO sessions are single-session virtual learning opportunities for student affairs and higher education professionals. The two currently listed cover academic advising through a PBS (positive behavior support) approach and college student belonging through a socio-ecological framework. These suit someone who wants a focused topic in one sitting.

Master's Student Conference

This conference runs across three Fridays — October 9, 16, and 23, 2026 — and is aimed at master's-level students. The multi-day structure suggests a cohort-style experience rather than a single keynote.

How to find details and register

1. Go to myacpa.org and open the events section (the homepage surfaces "our upcoming events").
2. Select the event you want to see its full description, exact times, and registration information.
3. Register through the event page. ACPA does not publish pricing in the material shown here, so check the individual event page for cost and any membership requirements rather than assuming it is free.

Common things to watch for

• Time zones. Listed times are not labeled with a time zone in the source material, so verify the zone on the event page before blocking your calendar.
• Overlapping dates. The two fall institutes and academies run on the same September–November window, so you likely cannot commit fully to both.
• Format. Every event listed is online, which makes them accessible regardless of location but also means you need reliable connectivity for the multi-week programs.
• Eligibility. The Master's Student Conference is explicitly for master's students; the other events are framed for student affairs and higher education professionals, faculty, and students.

For the most current list, treat the ACPA events page as the source of truth — new ACPA2GO sessions and institutes are added over time.
