Education, News & Events: Annual Conference

The 2026 Conference Session Proposal Portal is Open!

We encourage you to submit a breakout session proposal. 

Proposals should include:

  • An abstract/description of 300 words or less
  • 3-4 bulleted learning objectives
  • A maximum of TWO speakers - each speaker must represent a different organization. (AAHRPP reserves the right to add or change speakers)
  • You must have at least one speaker from an accredited organization
  • All speakers must be available to present in person

In an effort to ensure that the conference curriculum provides the maximum value to our attendees, we ask that speakers identify how their session is relevant to the PRIM&R CIP Body of Knowledge, which will increase the number of CIP-eligible sessions available.

In order for your session to be eligible for a CIP® recertification credit, it must be beyond the basic/fundamental level of knowledge, and be on topics found within the CIP® Body of Knowledge/Content Outline, as it pertains to HRPP/IRB administration and the application of federal regulations.

Please Note: AAHRPP is committed to ensuring that our registration fees remain affordable for our attendees. So, in 2026, the registration fees will not be increasing. However, due to inflation and the significantly increased cost of hotel services, we will continue to offer a discounted speaker fee which will be 50% of the stated admission fee at the time of registration (50% off the early-bird price or 50% off the regular price).

The Submission Deadline is September 12, 2025.

"(I liked the) thought-provoking sessions on difficult topics. Also, (there were) great ideas to take back from poster presentations. (It gave me the) ability to meet people in my field."

"This was my first time attending (the) AAHRPP (conference) and it was an absolute pleasure to be at a mid-sized conference with such engaged colleagues and thought leaders. I really loved the deep-dive sessions!"

"...I highly recommend the virtual option as a great way to attend the conference. It was easy to review and enjoy the different posters (online). The AV team at the conference did a great job to make sure audio and visual connections stayed strong."
