2022 Spring Plenary Session - Hybrid Event

Event Dates
Deadline to Register/Application Deadline

ASCCC presents the 2022 Spring Plenary - Hybrid Event, held at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Hotel, Burbank, CA and in Pathable's Virtual Event Platform, April 7-9, 2022.

Registration Cutoff: March 25, 2022

THEME:  Strengthening Teaching, Leading, and Learning through Racial Justice and Academic Freedom

In order to make the event as accessible as possible for all attendees, regardless of the way they choose to attend, ASCCC opted to make one flat fee for the registration, based on the costs identified to put the event together.

The costs include Audio/Visual that would allow online attendees the ability to interact with in-person attendees, and in-person attendees access to the Pathable site to communicate with online attendees. The A/V charges for the 2021 Fall Plenary session, which totaled roughly $55,000, were covered by the ASCCC and not included in the registration fees for attendees. We hope that this flat fee structure for this hybrid plenary session will allow you to attend the session in whichever modality works the best for you and your college. 

SS Fee Structure

 

COVID Precautions - Subject to change per change in regulations with the mask mandates. We will update the information as it becomes available.
