About the Annual Conference
The Annual Conference is a platform for the international exchange community to engage in programmatic and policy discussions with representatives from key government agencies, including the U.S. Department of State. The Annual Conference is also an opportunity to network with partners and to develop the strategies necessary to address the challenges and opportunities facing our community.
This year, although we will not be able to gather together physically, our virtual conference will allow members to connect virtually and discuss a wide variety of relevant programs and practices.

The McCarry Leadership Award is an initiative promoting the professional development of emerging leaders in the U.S. exchange community. Selected awardees receive waived admittance to the Annual Meeting, reimbursement for actual travel costs (up to $1000) to Washington, and networking opportunities with Alliance members and Michael McCarry – the award’s inspiration. The inclusion of emerging leaders at our Annual Meeting will contribute to the future growth of our field. We welcome your donation to help fund this commemorative initiative. You can do so at the bottom of your registration. For more information, please contact the Alliance.
