You're Live in Austin at the ACA Open Mike Night
On Wednesday evening, following the Exhibit Hall Reception, we’re hosting an Open Mike Night. Strummers, fiddlers, singers, and other talented folks are welcome to share their talents and contribute to our circle of talent. We’re letting you know now, so you can plan what instruments to bring along with you to Austin. Look for information about how to sign up in advance, in the January issue of Inside ACA. 

Check Out our Packed ACA Exhibit Hall!
We’re so pleased with the exhibitor response to Austin as a site, and the national conference as a key venue to meet camp leaders. Make plans ahead and see who plans to exhibit in Austin. The exhibits will be conveniently located on the Sixth Floor of Austin Hilton, in the Grand Ballroom, near Registration and other key services.

Special thanks to CampMinder, MySummerCamps.com, Markel Insurance, and Fleet Solutions for their generous, Premiere level sponsorship of the national conference. Learn more about these companies.

Don’t be surprised when flipping through the channels on your hotel television, if you hear some familiar voices . . . including special guest anchor, Toni Hooten from the Texoma Chapter, Dan Mathews from Camp Twin Lakes in Georgia, and Kat Shreve, ACA director of education and T.V. personality. The show is intended to offer creative access to learning, an entertaining look at ourselves, and the news you need right now.  Special thanks to CampTV for their guidance and generous gift in kind contributions to the process.
