ACOM is dedicated to advancing the practice of convention services management (CSM) in the meetings industry, and to preparing CSM professionals for their critical role in the growth and success of their organizations.

The Association for Convention Operations Management (ACOM) – celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary in 2008 – was founded and incorporated as a not-for-profit organization by William Just, CAE, CMP in 1988.  Just recognized that most CSMs received their training and education mostly through in-house programs, ACOM changed all of that.
