(01/16/18)

If you haven’t already, go ahead and mark your calendar for July 29 – Aug. 2. That’s when we’ll gather at the University Plaza Hotel in downtown Springfield, Mo. for the 80th year of the ACI Conference.

This year’s theme is Connecting the Dots: An Integrated Communications Approach. Conference Coordinator Heather Feeler and the staff at the Missouri Department of Conservation are hard at work planning a slate of world-class speakers, engaging topics, educational sponsors, exciting outdoor experiences and a chance to see some of Springfield’s best attractions. From our hotel, it’s an easy walk to local restaurants, retail shops and the Springfield Cardinals Stadium.

Watch for details coming soon to the ACI website, Facebook page and your email box. Sponsorship information is available in the document below, or contact Heather at Heather.Feeler@mdc.mo.gov.
