Annual Conference

The ACLP Annual Conference on Professional Issues is the premier educational experience for child life professionals. Each year, child life specialists from all over the world gather for a diverse array of high-quality, timely and relevant conference sessions catered to all professional levels. After thorough review and careful consideration of the CDC's latest Covid-19 recommendations on social distancing, ACLP decided to transform the 2020 Child Life Annual Conference into an interactive, virtual event taking place May 20-23, 2020. 

We are disappointed we won't be able to see you in person in San Antonio but are excited that we can still provide a unique, high-quality virtual conference experience. We will still have our highly anticipated, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) themed keynote speakers and the varied, relevant educational content ACLP has always provided at the annual conference. But you will now be able to access it safely and conveniently from your home or office.

Visit the 2020 Child Life Virtual Conference website for information.
