Annual Conference: Past Conferences

AIGAC 2022 Conference

The 15th Annual AIGAC conference was held (virtually) from May 3 through May 5, 2022.

AIGAC conferences increase your professional resources and contacts and keep you updated on the latest trends and changes in the graduate application process.

Each spring, our conference provides a chance to re-energize with peers before returning to the trenches of the application season. We were pleased to offer this amazing event virtually on May 3–5, 2022. This was yet another fantastic opportunity to come together with colleagues and benefit from having an audience with admissions directors, in an interactive format.

The 2022 event featured some of your favorite conference activities, such as admissions case studies and the return of the applicant fair, as well as new programming with admissions officers addressing how their schools and admissions offices are responding to changing global circumstances.
