#NASPA2020 Constituent Group Guides
Our constituent groups provide smaller opportunities to connect at #NASPA2020.
Attendee Experience
We’re very excited to see you in Austin! The 2020 NASPA Annual Conference includes engagement opportunities that both enhance and go beyond the learning that will take place in educational sessions. Explore the varied aspects of the attendee experience by learning about resources for first time attendees, engaging with the exhibit hall, finding opportunities to volunteer at the conference - and more!
For California colleagues who are not able to travel to Austin due to the state funding ban, we are excited to present the concurrent Connected Conference at San Jose State University. The Connected Conference will leverage the Virtual Ticket and do an in-person event at the same time as the conference in Austin, allowing our California colleagues to both present in-person and engage with presenters in Texas. A subcommittee of the 2020 Conference Leadership Committee is working to develop this event.
The Conference Leadership Committee members are truly excited to create community both in Austin and in California for the 2020 NASPA Annual Conference! Check back frequently for more details.
