2026 Conference

Preparations for the 2026 conference are underway. We will be meeting on the CSU Pomona campus on November 6 and 7.

Note that the conference center hotel still has a few rooms and a new hotel building will open before November. We recently learned that the conference center breakout rooms will be under renovation during our conference so we will be moving our presentations to nearby rooms on campus.



Location: CSU Pomona Kellogg Conference Center
Date: Nov 6-7, 2026
Phone number: (909) 869 2222

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
We are calling for participants to present at the CSA annual conference. Presentations are open to faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and community professionals.
To submit your presentation, review the session list below and select the topic that best aligns with your research. Then, email the designated session organizer with your name, institutional affiliation, academic status, presentation title, and a one-paragraph abstract.
Please use your institutional email for all CSA correspondence. Organizers usually accept all relevant submissions. If yours is declined, feel free to try a second organizer. You are welcome to deliver multiple presentations, as long as each one represents a distinct paper or separate piece of research.
Each session needs between 3 and 5 presenters. If a session fails to reach the three-presenter minimum, we will move you to a similar session or find another presenter to complete the group.
Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis. Individual sessions will close as soon as they reach their maximum capacity of 5 presenters. Prompt submission is highly encouraged to secure a spot in your preferred session.
