The Annual Conference on Corporate Contributions addresses the most important issues facing the corporate contributions field. Held annually in March, it is the largest and widely considered the most important event of the year for the corporate contributions profession. The closed-door event typically draws 200 businesses, exhibitors and outside speakers, due to its reputation for addressing cutting-edge and often controversial issues.

ACCP's four day "Mini-MBA" continuing education program and networking opportunity for corporate contributions practitioners is held on-site at businesses singled out for their corporate social responsibility activities. The 2007 Forum is sold out.
