Thanks for the Memories!

ACSW Annual Conference is Discontinued

The Alberta College of Social Workers will not be doing a call for proposals, vendors or volunteers as we will not be hosting a conference in 2022.

For decades, social workers have come together at the Alberta College of Social Worker’s Annual Conference. Led by member volunteers, the ACSW conference has been one of the largest annual social work conferences in Canada. We thank all past participants and presenters for your engagement and contributions.

Recent changes to the Health Professions Act includes the requirement for regulatory bodies to cease and divest professional association activities. As such, ACSW has taken steps to discontinue professional association activities which includes the annual ACSW conference. To learn more see our New Association webpage.

As registered social workers, we are accountable to meet annual continuing competence requirements. There are many opportunities to enhance your professional knowledge, skills and abilities within your field of social work practice.

As a member of the Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW) all ACSW members can access free, professional development to support your social work practice. To view a list of their upcoming and recorded on-demand webinars visit https://www.casw-acts.ca/en/continuing-education-1 their continuing education webpage.

We look forward to the establishment of the new professional social work association. Social workers are encouraged to join the new association that is anticipated to open its doors to members in 2022.
