ANCOR Connect 2024

ANCOR Connect 2024: The Power of We

The ANCOR Annual Conference is now ANCOR Connect! Although the new name reflects our mission to connect you with the people and ideas that empower you to deliver better services to more people, our signature gathering still remains a hub for the learning, networking and the sense of community you’ve come to expect.

Our theme for ANCOR Connect ‘24, The Power of We, celebrates the strength of our community. It reminds us that when we connect as a network of diverse providers—large, small and everything in between—we tap into a collective intelligence that translates into powerful results. There’s little we can’t achieve together when we learn from each other’s experiences, leverage each other’s talents, and pool our collective insights.

Join members of your community for three days in historic Santa Fe, New Mexico, to explore how our collective power better equips us to adapt, thrive and stay ahead of the curve in an ever-changing landscape. Because when we work together, we accomplish amazing things.

Staying in Santa Fe

One of the many benefits of having a citywide conference is that we can offer a wide array of different lodging options. ANCOR has secured room blocks with more than a half-dozen hotels, all of which are within a short walking distance from Santa Fe’s central plaza and the Santa Fe Community Convention Center. These hotels will offer guests an array of different amenities at a variety of different price points to help meet your needs.

American Eagle offers service from SAF to Austin (AUS), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and Phoenix-Sky Harbor (PHX), while United Express offers service from SAF to Denver (DEN).

• Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is a popular choice among visitors to Santa Fe because, although it is farther away, ABQ offers nonstop service to nearly 40 destinations across eight different airlines.
