Conference Session Proposals

2026 PNACAC Annual Conference

"Resilience & Grit: Navigating the Evolving College Landscape"

Thank you for submitting a session proposal for the 2026 PNACAC Conference.

Successful conference proposals will:

• Offer knowledge that is relevant to our day-to-day work in college admissions.

• Speak to major issues in the field, best practices, and/or access, equity and inclusion in college admission. Ideally, presenters will represent a wide range of voices in the profession.

• Encourage reflection and self-care.

• Ensure collaboration with colleagues across other schools, states or sectors.

• Be successfully presented within the 60-minute time limit.

Please note:

• For proposals that include fee-based resources, programs or vendors, at least one co-presenter needs to be a PNACAC member from the high school/IEC/CBO or college side. 

• All submissions received by January 30, 2026 will be given priority consideration.

• If it is accepted, you will receive a code for the $50 savings off of early bird
  pricing; if it is not accepted, you will receive the early bird rate. As such, we ask that you not register for the conference before you know whether you have been selected to present. No refunds will been given.
