NELA's 2027 Annual Convention will be held at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch, June 23–26, 2027. Generally, sessions are 60 to 75 minutes long and feature a moderator and two speakers. If you are interested in speaking, you must agree to (1) work cooperatively with the moderator and your co-speaker(s) to coordinate the oral presentations and written materials, and (2) submit a substantive paper on the agreed-upon topic by the specified deadline. NELA reserves the right to modify accepted proposals and to select speakers other than those proposed. Please note that, with limited exceptions, NELA's resources do not allow it to cover costs associated with attending the convention.
