NEW Topics in 2025!
Join fellow aviation professionals at the 2025 ACPC to share new ideas, perspectives & discuss topics, issues, and solutions for work/life challenges in the ACPC P2P Chat Circles!
P2P Chat Circles allow for professional networking opportunities, information sharing and peer-to-peer learning. Peer-to-peer learning practices encourage connectivity and collaboration like nothing else. Each live conversation-style session is a time for attendees to ask questions, share their experiences, challenges, and resources to the topic at hand, learning from one another through a facilitated conversation.
Don’t Miss this Unique Opportunity to:
- Build a circle of peers you can share with and learn from.
- Receive peer input and support from outside your organization.
- Learn in a non-competitive environment.
- Build collective, collaborate knowledge rather than learning from speakers.
