SUBMIT A WORKSHOP PROPOSAL

for the NPEA 2026 CONFERENCE

The NPEA 2026 Conference, Collective Power, Shared Purpose: Advancing Access in Education, is coming to Atlanta on April 15–17 -- and we want you to help shape it.

We are now accepting workshop proposals from leaders, educators, and practitioners committed to supporting students from under-resourced communities.

In a time of profound change and complex challenges, we remain grounded in our shared commitment to advancing opportunity, fostering belonging, and developing bold, collaborative solutions that center students and families. At the NPEA Conference, we will explore how to harness our collective power to amplify and sustain our work, and together, we will reflect, refocus, and renew our commitment to education access.

This is your chance to:

• share innovative strategies
• highlight promising practices, and
• spark bold conversations that move our field forward

Don’t miss the opportunity to showcase your work and connect with a national audience of peers who share your commitment.

Workshop proposals are due by September 15, 2025.
