Alpha Chi holds a national convention each Spring where chapters from across the country gather to celebrate student scholarship in an interdisciplinary conference of academic and creative member presentations. It’s held one year in a popular destination city and the next year as a virtual event so that even more students can participate in and experience our conventions.
This three-day event gathers scholars from around the country to share their work—often presenting to a national audience for the first time. With often more than one hundred member presentations, a collaborative research competition, keynote speakers, academic and social networking, a host of awards and prizes, professional development sessions, and opportunities to explore a fabulous city.
The 2026 convention will take place in-person March 12-14, 2026, in Orlando, Florida.

For in-person conventions, chapters have access to generous grants that can make the cost of attendance—including travel and lodging—more manageable on a college student’s budget. Ask your chapter advisor for more information.
