We organized the 18th Advanced Accelerator Concepts (AAC18) Workshop at the Beaver Run Resort and Conference Center in Breckenridge, Colorado on August 12–17, 2018. AAC18 was organized under the sponsorship of the IEEE Council on Superconductivity and managed under the supervision of IEEE 2018 Advanced Accelerator Conference Committee. Workshop day-to-day management, including financial, was handled by a qualified conference management company. The 2018 meeting was devoted to cross-disciplinary discussions of advanced accelerator concepts, including progress in various plasma acceleration methods, new methods of particle acceleration and high energy photon generation, techniques for production of ultra-high accelerating gradients in media other than plasmas, diagnostics and control of particle and photon beams and various associated particle beam, RF and energy sources. The Workshop had 278 attendees, including a record 96 students. Attendees came from 12 countries representing a wide range of institutions. The workshop format consisted of plenary sessions in the morning with topical leaders from around the world presenting the latest breakthroughs to the entire workshop. In the late morning and afternoons attendees broke out into eight different Working Groups for more detailed presentations and discussions that were summarized on the final day of the workshop. In addition, there were student tutorial presentations on two afternoons to provide in depth education and training for the next generation of accelerator scientists, as well as a poster session one evening.
