    Welcome to the 2021 Annual Institute Session Submission Portal


    The 2021 theme for the  Annual Institute is ENGAGE. 


    Yes, that is correct - AISAP is well underway in our planning for the 2021 Annual Institute! Whether at your desk or in person, AISAP will continue to engage Admission and Enrollment Management Professionals from around the globe. We need your ideas, teachings, case studies or success stories, and best practice guidelines to be shared. This way, we ensure that we remain "By Admission and Enrollment Professionals, For Admission and Enrollment Professionals," so take a look at our Learning and Development Framework - imagine what you have to share and ENGAGE with AISAP.


    We are looking for various sessions to engage and train admission and enrollment professionals regardless of their level of experience. We also look for sessions that involve other team members who work directly with admission and enrollment professionals throughout the year, including, but not limited to, finance, marketing, communications, or different supporting roles.


    When you are developing your session details, please work on carving out the specific audience you would like to engage with and how your content is relevant to admission and enrollment management. We have developed some key areas to help build your session ideas based on our profession's Learning and Development Framework.
