ARC SUMMIT
Connect. Be Inspired.
September 16 and 17. Stay Curious!
A CPIA CE Eligible, two half-day virtual conference specifically curated for animal research compliance professionals where participants will explore presentations aligned with specific themes that will open the door for inspirational programmatic transformation.
The ARC Summit Supports Animal Research Professionals by providing space to connect in a focused environment so that they can bring novel industry ideas back to their program, in turn, elevating professionalism and innovation in the field.
What Makes the ARC Summit Unique?
The ARC Summit is a community-focused event designed for Animal Research Compliance professionals and ACUC Programs. It features tailored presentations that revolve around key themes: Professionalism, Leadership, Innovation, and Culture. The conference takes place over two half-days and is built mindfully to support knowledge retention, individual health, and team building. This format truly supports a “Come as You Are” energy.
Audience Engagement and Team Building
All presentations, except for the Panel Discussion, happen in a regular Zoom room, similar to the ARC Seminar Series. This format allows you to interact with presenters during open discussions. Additionally, access is centered around institutional memberships. This way, team members can attend the conference together and hold meaningful discussion around the presentations happening — in real time, or post conference.
Affordable Pricing
One institutional enrollment allows unlimited participants. We are eliminating concern around budgets. One major goal of this approach to a conference is to encourage program connection and teambuilding. We want you to share this with your IACUC, all ARC Personnel, and other relevant stakeholders. Watch together with food and beverages!
