Pre-Convention Workshops

The ACPA26 Pre-Convention Workshop proposal deadline is quickly approaching. Submit yours by 11 July 2025!

PROPOSE A PRE-CONVENTION WORKSHOP

The ACPA26 Convention Planning Team seeks intentional and interactive Pre-Convention Workshops that allow attendees to dig deeper into critical topics facing higher education today. ACPA transforms higher education by creating and sharing influential scholarship, shaping critically reflective practice, and advocating for equitable and inclusive learning environments. 

By submitting a Pre-Convention Workshop, you can provide a broad range of higher education professionals with an immersive professional development experience on topics that are relevant and pressing for today’s student affairs and higher education professionals. As a Pre-Convention Workshop facilitator, you have the opportunity to delve further into current and relevant topics you are passionate about, engage in your own professional development, and build community.

Pre-Convention sessions are offered as either:

  • 4-hour sessions
    • Sunday, 29 March 2026 from 1:00pm – 5:00pm, or
    • Monday, 20 March 2026 from 8:30am – 12:30pm, 
  • 8 hour/2-day sessions Sunday, 29 March 2026 from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm and Monday, 30 March 2026 from 8:30 am – 12:30 pm.
