2027 Annual Conference
Miles of Possibilities
The road ahead is full of possibilities.
As college admission and counseling professionals, we’re constantly navigating new routes, adapting to changing landscapes, and helping students chart a course toward their futures. And while every journey looks different, we don’t have to travel it alone.
Join your GPACAC colleagues in Oklahoma City for the 2027 Annual Conference as we connect, collaborate, and explore new ideas for the road ahead.
Whether you’re just beginning your journey or have traveled this road for years, you’ll find fresh perspectives, meaningful connections, and practical strategies to take back home.
So pack your ideas, bring your curiosity, and join us on Route 66.
Miles of Possibilities are waiting!
