NAAPE 2021 In-Person Conference

What a year this has been! While many of us have become Zoom experts, the value and gift of in-person conferences has become more and more clear As of now, circumstances in the U.S. look to be trending positively. Given this, NAAPE is currently planning to hold an in-person gathering this fall, October 29th-31st, 2021.

We recognize that circumstances are prone to change, and that even if the U.S. is poised to reach normalcy by fall, much of the world may not be. That said, the NAAPE Executive Committee is optimistic that a safe and responsible in-person conference will be possible this coming fall.

We anticipate that attendance may be lower than years past, but we also believe that for those able to travel and attend, the conference will be a time of welcome reconnection and rejuvenation.

Our formal Call for Papers will be distributed later this spring, though information about submissions and the submission site is already active on our website. We anticipate the submission deadline will be July 1st, as in previous years. In the meantime, we will continue monitoring the domestic and international situations as they relate to Covid-19, as well as continue exploring what modifications and safeguards should be implemented for our meeting this fall.
