For the past 30+ years, ACCS-VA has held an annual conference to foster the relationship and sharing of knowledge of information technology professionals across the Commonwealth of Virginia's myriad colleges and universities. The annual conference typically takes place during spring break, lasting approximately 2.5 days (oftentimes with training and special interest group opportunities the day before the conference start).
