Welcome to the 2026 NASPA Annual Conference Submission Portal!

Please review the information on this page prior to beginning your submission for the 2026 NASPA Annual Conference.

Create, Edit, and Submit Your Proposal

You must log in to submit a program or meeting/reception request. The submission portal uses the same email address and password as your main NASPA account. Click the Start Submission button at the bottom of this page to start a new submission.

Incomplete submissions may be edited as many times as you wish until the deadlines listed below. Click the Save and Submit button to complete your proposal. Please note that edit access is removed after you click Save and Submit.

Only complete submissions will move on to the review process. A submission is considered "complete" when responses have been entered in all sections of the submission form, and you have clicked Save and Submit. You will receive a confirmation email when you have completed this step.

Submission Tips

• There are three separate submission forms for the 2026 NASPA Annual Conference: Pre-conference Workshops, Meeting/Reception Requests, and all other educational session types (General Interest, Poster, etc). Make sure you are starting with the correct form based on what you would like to submit. 

• Not sure what program type to select to get started? Click here to learn about the different educational session types for the 2026 NASPA Annual Conference. The type that you select will determine the questions you must complete in your submission form.

• Review the NASPA Program Submission Guidelines for guidance on crafting an effective program title, abstract, and learning outcomes.

• For longer text fields, such as the abstract and description, we recommend that you draft your responses first, then copy and paste the text into the submission form.

• Update your NASPA profile prior to starting your submission to ensure that your submission contains your current email address, institution, and professional title. These fields will pull from the NASPA member database. If you have co-presenters, please ask them to review and update their profiles as well. You will use the presenter search tool in the submission process to find your co-presenters in the member database.
