AACC World Conference 2027
01 Overview
The American Association of Christian Counselors holds its World Conference from September 7 to 11, 2027, at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida, with registration opening the evening of September 6. General registration covers plenaries, track workshops and the exhibit hall; intensives and pre-conference workshops cost extra.
AACC is an NBCC Approved Continuing Education Provider (ACEP No. 7543), and its CE statement lists APA-sponsored credit for psychologists through National Marriage Seminars of America, NAADAC approval and play therapy credit. The ASWB ACE approval shown on the statement runs to September 2026, so social workers should confirm it for 2027. CE hours by profession will be released with the track workshops.
Registration prices were not published on the conference pages when we checked; discounted rates exist for members, spouses and students.
