Alpha Chi Sigma 57th Biennial Conclave

Alpha Chi Sigma is excited to announce the 57th Biennial Conclave is scheduled for July 15-20, 2024 on the campus of University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign. 

The 57th Biennial Conclave will include sessions for attendees covering the Three Objects of Alpha Chi Sigma. Forums and sessions are planned on topics such as career and professional advancement, leadership, and fraternal involvement. In addition, plenty of opportunities to network and bond with your Brothers in Alpha Chi Sigma will be available. 

The Alpha Chi Sigma Conclave is fun, informative, and an experience that should not be missed. 

Information about how to register and a tentative schedule will be sent out soon. Keep an eye out for communications from Alpha Chi Sigma so you don't miss out on the chance to attend. 

While July 15-20, 2024 are the confirmed dates for Conclave, the exact schedule and plan is subject to change. 

Delegate Election Form

Please complete your Delegate Election Form online by May 1, 2024. This form will ideally be completed by your Master Alchemist or Pro President. Once you have submitted the form, you will receive an email confirmation. Once your form has been submitted, and we have finalized online Conclave registration, you will receive a link by email to register your Delegate for Conclave. 

Note:

Conclave attendees should plan to fly into Chicago Midway or O'Hare airports and use shuttle services provided by Peoria Charter to the ISR bus stop in Champaign-Urbana. Advance tickets are required for Peoria Charter. Peoria Charter has several buses per day from O'Hare, but only one bus per day from Midway. Please schedule flights accordingly. 

In addition, Conference services has informed us that rooms are available Sunday night for Sunday arrivals as well, this will incur an additional cost for non-delegates and must be coordinated with the National Office. 

As with any planning done these days, this is subject to change. Attendees will be notified of any changes as soon as we become aware that the changes are necessary. 

Recommended Travel Methods to Urbana, IL:

Delegates, you will receive travel instructions from the National Office after we receive your delegate election forms. Delegate air travel is through O'Hare (ORD) or Midway (MDW) airports, then by bus using Peoria Charter. 

For non-delegates, the nearest airport is Willard Airport (CMI) in Savoy, IL - 15 minutes away. Flights into CMI can be quite expensive, so if your travel time is flexible, you may want to look into flying into alternative airports. Nearby airports are Bloomington-Normal Airport (BMI) 1 hour away, O'Hare (ORD) 2.5 hours away, Midway (MDW) 2.5 hours away, Indianapolis International Airport (IND) 2 hours away, St. Louis Lambert (STL) 3 hours away. As you can see from the travel times, you will need to rent a car or arrange other transportation. 

Many Brothers are traveling near or through these areas, so there may be opportunities to carpool. If you are interested in using a carpool or willing to drive a carpool from one of these airports, please contact the National Office.
