The 2024 ABET Symposium will be held April 4-5 with Symposium workshops taking place on Wednesday, April 3 and Saturday, April 6. An overview of the schedule can be found in the At a Glance section.

Please read our Code of Conduct here.

ABET has a COVID-19 policy you will be asked to review and agree to upon registration. You can read our COVID-19 policy here.

We’ve developed a “Justify My Attendance” template to help state the business and academic case for your registration. The letter outlines the benefits of attending the event and provides an area for you to enter your requested budget. The template is in Microsoft Word format, so you can customize it to your needs.

Each Symposium registration includes admission to all sessions, keynotes, panels, town halls and other events. It also includes breakfast, lunch and a morning and afternoon snack on Thursday and Friday and a light reception on Thursday evening. Pre- and post-Symposium workshops require separate registrations and additional fees.

Please visit our registration page for the most current pricing.

Attending the Symposium as a group is a great way to connect with colleagues, build team camaraderie and bring new ideas back to your workplace. That’s why we’re offering discounted registration rates for four or more people who register together.

To take advantage of our Group Registration rates, go to our registration page and click “Register.” After you fill in the details to register one person, you’ll be given the option to “Add Group Member” on the last page. Continue clicking “Add Group Member” until you’ve added each person in your group. The discounted Group Registration rate will then be automatically applied to your registration total.

Active ABET Program Evaluators who performed visits this accreditation cycle will receive 50% off their Symposium registration. Eligible PEVs will receive an email with a code to use when registration opens, but if you did not receive it or need further assistance, contact us at symposium@abet.org.

All payments must be made at time of registration to reserve your spot. A 75% refund will be given if cancelled 15 days or more from date of event.
