Registration is live!

We need chairs for a few sessions – volunteer now!

Session chairs have received emails with session information and the preliminary schedule to verify session details with their presenters.

Please check with your chair if you have questions, or email Executive Director Benita Blessing (director@asecs.org).

Schedules are subject to change; however, sessions will remain in the weekend they are scheduled.
