Registration
- To register, you must login to your member account at https://members.acb.org/. If you do not remember your login and password, you may select “password reset” or call the Minneapolis office at 612-332-3242. Once logged in to the members site, select the link labeled “ACB Convention.”
- If you have not created a member account at https://members.acb.org/, select the link labeled “Create an Account” and provide the information requested. After creating an account, you can log in, but it may take up to 24 business hours before you will be able to complete a convention registration, as the Minneapolis office needs to link your member account to our database.
- If you need assistance in registering, telephone registration will be available by calling Janet Dickelman at 651-428-5059.
- See the continuing education tab for information about how to register for CE (continuing education) credits. There is an additional charge for registering for these credits.
- Once you have selected the “ACB Convention” link on the members main page, it will open on an introduction page you should read, and then proceed to your preferences page. Please verify your contact information and select whether you will be attending the convention virtually or in-person. If you choose to be a virtual attendee, you will not be shown sessions that are only available to in-person attendees. If you choose to be an in-person attendee, you will be shown all virtual and in-person sessions.
- If you choose to be a virtual attendee and later decide to attend the conference and convention in person, you will need to contact the Minneapolis office to change from virtual to an in person attendee.
- All virtual sessions are free of charge and the registration process does not require you to select sessions you plan to attend. Zoom links for attendees will be shown on the members website and sent by email.
Browse Conference and Convention Sessions
ACB will be holding a hybrid conference and convention offering virtual only sessions, in-person only sessions, and virtual and in-person sessions together.
