You may select the sponsorship option you desire and pay for it through the portal. View the sponsorship page for more details.
*Our total costs are $40 per person for the luncheon and $30 for the boxed lunch; SACES is subsidzing the cost of these meals.
Don't forget to book your hotel reservation online before September 18, 2018 or it sells out! Visit the Conference 2018 page for more details.
You can pay online with a credit card through PayPal or pay by check. Make check payable to ACES and please include a copy of your SACES invoice with the check or write "SACES Invoice #" on the memo line so it will be credited properly to your registration. Send check to:

Weather-related late cancellations: We committed to keeping registration prices low over the past several years. However, we have already committed extensive financial resources for the conference spaces, hotel rooms, receptions, meals, totes, lanyards, programs, etc. based on registrations. With weather-related events impacting conference travel, we lose money with late cancellations. Therefore, the $100 admin fee is designed to offset the losses and still allow us to cover our conference and operating budgets for the next two years.
Questions about your conference registration? please contact the Conference Registration Co-Coordinators, Lauren Downey and Dana Griffin (sacesreg2018@gmail.com)
Questions or issues with your SACES member account or login? Please contact the Membership Chair, Dr. Chris Belser at christopherbelser@gmail.com. If you join ACA/ACES near a registration deadline, your membership profile may take a few days to update; this can quickly be addressed with a copy of your new member or renewal receipt. However, we encourage you to login early to avoid any technical difficulties before the deadline.
You do not need to be a member to register. You may still register for our conference as a non-member; however, there will be an additional cost for registration. Create a non-member account here. Note for students: it will be more affordable for you to join as a SACES member and receive the student rate!
