The Academy hosts two national multi-day events each year with continuing-education credits available.

The Institute & Conference is held each autumn, usually at an urban conference center.

The Summer Workshop (for members only) is typically held in a retreat-like setting. There is usually an abundance of optional free time events scheduled to provide opportunities to try new activities while socializing with friends and forming new professional and personal relationships.
