Meeting/Event Information

“In diversity there is beauty and there is strength." - Maya Angelou

The Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists (ACCT) is pleased to invite you to the 2015 Annual General Meeting and Conference, Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26, 2015, at the Century Plaza Hotel and Spa, 1015 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC.

Embracing the theme of ‘Cultural Diversity,’ the two-day conference will comprise of professional development sessions, including marketing and cultural awareness sessions, cultural experiences, and opportunities to connect with fellow members. For more information on speakers and professional development sessions please see the "Documents" section below.

We have arranged for special hotel rates for attendees, travel discounts for our members, and a variety of conference packages to give our members the ability to attend as much or as little as you choose.

Early bird pricing is available through July 1, 2015. We encourage you to reserve your space today and join us for two days of learning, exploration, camaraderie, and celebration, as we continue to grow cooperatively and support excellence in competency-based counselling.

We have taken special care in our scheduling so that members can attend "The Whole Shabang!" and only spend one night in the hotel.  We asked for member input and we put it into practice!
