2020 NPEA Conference: Session Proposal Application |
Proposal Guidelines: Overview, Description, and Expectations
Reaching Out and Rising Up: Forging Ahead for Student Success
The National Partnership for Educational Access (NPEA) is seeking exceptional workshop submissions and Spark Session ideas for our 12th annual NPEA Conference. Featuring more than 30 workshops, 8 Spark Session presentations (new in 2020!), three keynotes, two receptions, and ample time for networking, the conference is a valuable opportunity for those in the field of educational access to come together and share best practices for supporting underserved students on the path to and through college. The conference will be held April 15-17, 2020 at the Royal Sonesta Boston Hotel in Cambridge, MA.
Presenting at the NPEA Conference is a unique opportunity to showcase your best practices and expertise to a national audience of educators, including nonprofits, schools, and colleges, all committed to increasing access and success for underserved students across the country. It's also an opportunity to pose challenges, share ideas, and seek valuable input from others who are deeply involved in and committed to the education access field. Each year, we receive more proposals than we have space available in our agenda. Each proposal is carefully considered and discussed with a committee of reviewers; sessions are then selected according to several criteria and with an eye towards creating a robust, diverse conference agenda that will appeal to the range of participants who attend.
PLEASE NOTE: We are pleased to offer all accepted presenters a reduced registration fee of $495 for NPEA member presenters and $680 for non-member presenters to attend the full conference. Unfortunately, NPEA is unable to reimburse for travel, provide speaker honorariums, or offer complimentary or further discounted conference registrations for presenters. Please submit your session proposal with the understanding that you and any co-presenters will be required to pay the appropriate presenter fee(s), and discuss this with all presenters included in your proposal. Thank you!
