SEPTEMBER 19-21
2024 Fall Conference Focus
Captivating Community. As an organization, we must continue to grow by adapting to changing needs and environments. The focus of Fall Conference 2024 is to better engage as a community while learning in the rustic, natural surroundings of Petit Jean State Park. We will gather in different locations within a mile or two of one another. From Mather Lodge to the Visitor’s Center and finally to the Winthrop Rockefeller Center for our business meeting and luncheon. Fall Conference 2024 will be a rustic experience where we will rely on one another to know where we are going, literally and metaphorically
Arkansas Communication & Theatre Arts Association is a non-profit community of professionals devoted to the rigorous study and ethical practice of professional communication, debate, dance, and theatre as an essential discipline, life skill, and art form in Arkansas.
