to the conference schedule, all at the palm of your hand! The app was a huge hit at the 149 th Congress of Correction in Boston, helping countless attendees with their conference needs, increasing engagement in conference activities and creating an overall better experience. Those who used the conference app in Boston were able to participate in the exclusive scavenger hunt. The winner from this year’s Congress received a free registration for a future conference of their choosing, an e-learning course package and a free ACA Professional One membership for a year. Any conference-goers who missed their opportunity to take part in the scavenger hunt shouldn’t fear, because it will return for the up- coming 2020 Winter Conference. From now on, using the conference app will give you the opportunity to win bigger prizes, including the Gondles Bear, an all-time conference-favorite, as well as the Grand Prize Give- away, at each conference. As ACA heads into its 150 th year, we promise to continually provide quality information and experi- ences at our conferences and, most importantly, to the corrections field. The 2020 Winter Conference in San Diego promises to bring new opportunities to learn about the latest trends in the world of corrections, view our vast rows of exhibitors in the Exhibit Hall, network, win prizes and much more, and now we have made it that much simpler to view all of this exciting information on your own desktop or even at the palm of your hand. We look forward to seeing you in San Diego!
