"EACE is a fantastic opportunity to connect with local professionals to get fresh ideas. It gets you out of your comfort zone and gets you thinking beyond your own institution. I would recommend it to anyone who's thinking about going."
"The EACE conference was a fun and energizing experience, full of incredible information and friendly colleagues. Highly recommend!"
"This was one of the best conferences I've been to with a great balance and variety in the format of workshops, roundtables, and presentations. Plus there was a good amount of downtime to digest ideas, catch up with old colleagues, and meet new ones!"
"Year after year, this is a great conference and I go to because of its consistency in providing quality programming with an opportunity to network with a wonderful group of knowledgeable career professionals."
"The friendliness and welcoming nature of everyone at the conference is what keeps me coming back. Yes, I learn a lot that I can bring back to my home institution, but this conference has provided me a platform for organic networking that I have never come close to seeing anywhere else."
