Every year in July, members of ABSAP converge on a B-school in a city that will never be the same. Members enjoy three days of professional and social events that encourage information sharing on best practices from the various schools represented. Attendees are able to brainstorm ideas that provide a much-needed surge to go back to their respective campuses with a fresh approach to their profession.
The annual conference is a collaborative environment where exchanging ideas and sharing successes and failures (we all have them!) enable attendees to learn from others, benchmark peer schools, brainstorm ideas and grow professionally.
A business school must have paid current membership dues in order for alumni relations professionals to attend the annual conference. If your membership is not current, log in and select “Profile -> Pay Membership Dues” to update membership, or contact info@absap.org for further information.
Save the date for our 2025 conference! Join us on July 21-24, 2025 as Tippie College of Business – University of Iowa will be hosting the conference. All alumni relations staff at dues-paid member schools are strongly encouraged to attend. Registration will go live in Spring 2025.

Conference Scholarship
The John Sengenberger Conference Scholarship was established by the ABSAP Board of Directors in 2024 to serve two purposes: enable more colleagues to attend our conference, and honor John Sengenberger, a long-serving member of ABSAP’s Board of Directors and an advocate for the organization.
This scholarship covers the cost of one employee of a member school to attend the conference in July. This scholarship is intended for those schools who would otherwise only be able to send one team member, who would not otherwise be able to participate at all, and/or those who have not participated in the conference since covid.
Primary ABSAP reps can apply for themselves or on behalf of their colleague(s). We understand that budgets may not allow multiple employees of the same school to attend, so we hope this alleviates that burden.
Please note this scholarship is for registration costs only. Schools are still responsible for travel costs.
The deadline to submit applications is June 1.
