MAACS 2025 Annual Conference

Registration is open for the Mid-Atlantic Association of Career Schools' (MAACS) Annual Conference, which is one of the largest conferences in the country for career school officials and affiliated companies. The event draws approximately 250 people a year representing schools, vendor companies, accrediting agencies, education policy-makers, and other guests. The conference blends several dozen sessions and meetings to provide content to schools on a vast array of subjects, along with several networking and social events, and time with exhibiting companies that sell products and services to schools.
