Attendee Testimonials
Hear what our conference attendees have to say about the valuable resources and guidance they receive as ACET members.
The ACET Conference has been a wonderful experience for me. From my first year serving as Federal and State Programs Director to now, it has never failed to provide the latest information about all areas through informative and engaging sessions. Plus, the opportunity to meet with others and share ideas is invaluable. Of course, always hearing from Cory Green on the last day…Priceless!

“Attending at least one ACET pre-conference and conference ever year is the best way for Federal Programs staff to learn the intricacies of their job and find ways to work smarter, not harder! Even after 6+ years, the ACET conference is the best and most timely professional development I receive every single year.”
