Registration is Open!

We’re ready to wave the green flag on convention weekend – registration is now open! Full-time and part-time registration options are available for the 2024 National Convention in Indianapolis July 12-14. Register by April 26 for the best price!

FULL-TIME REGISTRATION

This registration option includes three full days of fun and sisterhood.

End the weekend at the exciting Carnation Celebration with new and old friends.

The registration cost is $795 if registered by April 26, 2024. Additional fees will apply for late registrations.

PART-TIME REGISTRATION

If your schedule only allows you to attend certain parts of convention, we’ve got options for you! Back this year are a la carte opportunities; pricing ranges from $100 for education breakouts to $175 for Carnation Celebration, plus a $50 registration fee (and a late fee if registering after April 26).

HOTEL DETAILS

Convention will take place at the JW Marriott Indianapolis. You’ll be steps from the White River State Park, the Central Canal and tons of learning opportunities at museums like the NCAA Hall of Champions, the Indiana State Museum and more.

Room reservations should be made directly with the hotel, outside of the convention registration process. Alpha Chi Omega has a discounted standard room rate for the 2024 convention of $189/night plus taxes. A special link has been made available for attendees to book their hotel room and can be found on the convention website!

GETTING TO INDIANAPOLIS

As you prepare for convention, make sure you wear your Alpha Chi letters! Connect with sisters at the airport and look out for all of the fun red and green when you land. If you’re driving, how about adding an Alpha Chi bumper sticker to your car? Bonus: post photos on social with #AXOSetThePace for a chance to win swag!

KEYNOTE WITH JESS EKSTROM

PACE YOUR MIND: CHANGE YOUR INNER DIALOGUE AND STEP INTO YOUR PURPOSE

Stepping into your purpose is entirely dependent on the quality of your mindset. The first step to achieving influence and massive success is editing your thought patterns and the negative feedback loops that are holding you back, then finding the growth mindset that will take you to the next level. Jess Ekstrom knows this better than anyone. She’s started two multi-million-dollar social enterprises that have helped women and girls all over the world, but not without a few trips and falls (OK, maybe more than a few!) on her climb to the top.

This Saturday keynote will help sisters identify the five core mindsets we have and how to use them: The Reactor (happens in times of pressure), The Student (happens in new territory), The Lawyer (happens in conflict), The Dreamer (happens on the edge of opportunity) and The Evaluator (happens when we reflect on our life and progress).

Learn more about Jess at jessekstrom.com or on Instagram @Jess_Ekstrom.

Women & Wisdom

PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO ALL MEMBERS

We’re bringing our online networking experience to convention! From informal learning opportunities to various interest group meet-ups, join us in person this summer and the thousands of sisters online who are leveraging the Alpha Chi Omega network to seek the heights!

You can even get started before convention at womenandwisdom.org and begin making the most of the benefits you’ll gain from growing your network and yourself before you even pack your bags.

SPEND TIME IN THE WOMEN & WISDOM LOUNGE

Throughout the weekend, our Women & Wisdom Lounge will offer opportunities for sisters to connect.

• Interest group meet-ups

• Professional headshots

• W&W sign-ups

• Speed networking

• Professional development roundtables

• Time to meet, greet and connect with alumnae and collegians

SIGN UP FOR CONVENTION CONNECTIONS

The Women & Wisdom mentoring program is one of the many ways Alpha Chi Omega empowers members to connect and reach their potential through the Real. Strong. Women. Experience – and we’re offering an opportunity to form a short-term mentoring relationship with a sister as part of your convention experience in Indianapolis through Convention Connections! Alumnae can participate as mentors, mentees or both. Collegians can participate as mentees. This is the perfect way to form a new connection, learn advice from alumnae, and support the personal and professional development of sisters!

By signing up to participate, you’ll be matched with either an alumna or collegiate sister and receive milestones to complete in your new relationship. This includes communicating virtually prior to convention and setting up an in-person meeting while in Indianapolis. The goal of this mentoring experience is to create intentional connections at convention and hopefully introduce you to a sister that you’d like to continue the relationship with beyond the event!

INVEST IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

Join us for the education breakout session sponsored by Women & Wisdom where we’ll dive into topics applicable to any career!

• Resume writing

• Networking skills

• Standing out in the hiring process

• Professional advancement

• And more!
