Cutting-Edge Learning Sessions
Who develops the ACCA educational program? You do. Our conference program schedule has been determined solely by our contractor members, who told us in a survey what they want to learn more about.

And unlike some events, the instructors at the ACCA Conference come from the trenches -- contractors and experts who work in the real world, just like you.

Here are some of the breakout workshops that will blow you away at the 2009 ACCA Conference (for a complete schedule with dates and times, see the schedule at a glance).
