The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) is a nonprofit professional association with a mission to empower college admission counseling professionals through education, advocacy, and community. As part of this mission, NACAC works to support local professionals in our annual conference locations.

NACAC will be in Columbus, Ohio September 18-20 for NACAC Conference 2025. We are proud to support local public-school counselors and community-based organization professionals by providing complimentary conference registration through the Local Counselor Conference Experience.

  • The professional must work at a public school or community-based organization located in the Columbus metropolitan area, including the following counties:

  • Two approved professionals per high school/organization can attend NACAC Conference 2025 via a complimentary Local Counselor Conference Experience registration.
  • A nomination form will be circulated among school district superintendents, high school principals, counseling coordinators, and other local leadership to initiate eligibility and ensure the professional receives permission to attend.
  • Each nomination will be carefully reviewed by NACAC staff to ensure that the professional meets the required eligibility requirements. If approved, they will receive instructions to register for the Local Counselor Conference Experience at NACAC Conference 2025.
