The conference continues its long-standing tradition of programming across various gift planning topics, from different gift strategies to donor stewardship and charitable gift annuities. Regardless of your organizational role or years of experience, these sessions will expand your gift-planning expertise through presentations and workshops.
The ACGA seeks to offer education in three areas at its biennial conference:
- Introductory education for new planned giving officers.
- Continuing education for experienced planned giving officers.
- Administration, practical considerations, and technical guidance for gift annuity programs. Providing this information for a charity’s treasury, finance, and business officers is a hallmark of the ACGA conference.
Education in all three areas is not restricted to charitable gift annuities. Our Conference Committee solicits the highest quality speakers from across the country to make presentations concerning marketing, program management, donor relations, gift planning technical issues, prospect research, and the financial, investment, and legal considerations of gift planning programs.

Exhibitor Showcase
Our exhibit opportunities will look a little different this year. The ACGA will not have a traditional exhibit hall, but we are allowing vendors to join our partners by purchasing an exhibit table. These opportunities are limited so book soon.
Exhibit tables are $3,000 and include one full conference registration, a table, two chairs, and a listing in our virtual exhibit hall for 18 months. You can register for an exhibit table here.
Information about our partner opportunities can be viewed on our Partners page here.
