Announcing AC2025
September 11, 2024 / By UNY Communications / .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
The 2025 annual session of the Upper New York Conference will be held May 22-May 24, 2025, at the OnCenter in downtown Syracuse.
In July, the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference assigned Bishop Héctor to serve at two conferences, Upper New York and Susquehanna, effective September 1. In that role, he will preside over two annual conference sessions. Anticipating this change, both conferences postponed setting dates for their respective 2025 annual conference sessions and, over the summer, began exploring dates and venues that would allow the bishop to preside at both conferences.
The OnCenter is a familiar venue to United Methodists of Upper New York, having last hosted an annual conference in 2019. Bishop Héctor toured the OnCenter in late August and met with their executive staff. The OnCenter has undergone renovations, particularly to the lower level where displays and laity session were held in the past. There has also been a change in client and food service management. The OnCenter is eager to accommodate our needs and looks forward to hosting our three-day event next May. As a bonus, our usual audio/visual vendor, GNTV, will continue to serve us. Mark your calendar and look for more updates over the winter months.
