Program Submission and Presenter Portal

The coordinating presenter may log in to the program submission portal at any time to access important session information. In the portal, you can view important program details and manage your session. Log in to the portal to:

• View program status
• Read peer review comments
• View session date and time (all times are listed in Central Time for New Orleans)
• Update your program

Coming Soon! 

• Upload presentation slides and handouts 

Coordinating presenters should bookmark this page and use it as a reference as you develop your presentation between now and March. Please note that only the coordinating presenter has access to the program information in their portal, and is responsible for coordinating with any co-presenters. 

Need assistance with the portal?

Program Updates

Program updates will be accepted through February 28, 2024. The process depends on the type of change:

Add or Remove Presenters

Coordinating presenters may now add or remove supporting presenters directly in the submission portal. Follow these steps to navigate back to your program submission and edit your presenters:

1. Log in with your NASPA credentials.
2. Find your program in the table. If you have multiple submissions, use the submission number or title to navigate your list of programs. The Round column in the table should read Presenter Information and Uploads.
3. If the program you are looking for is not on the main page, check the Incomplete programs page instead.
4. Click Open or Edit under the Action column. 
5. You will land on the Additional Presenters page of the submission form. This page contains the presenter information you included in your original submission. This information may now be edited to add or remove co-presenters.

Update Individual Presenter Details

All individual presenter details for both coordinating and supporting presenters (name, title, institution, email) are pulled from the NASPA member database. These details may be updated directly by the individual presenter on engage.naspa.org under Edit My Profile. 

Other Updates

All other types of changes (including coordinating presenter changes, title and abstract edits, and program cancellations) may be submitted through the Program Update Form. Please allow 7-10 business days for a member of the NASPA team to complete your updates.

Accessing Peer Review Comments

Please follow these steps to access peer review comments on your program:

1. Log in with your NASPA credentials.
2. Find your program in the table.
3. Click Results under the Action column. 
4. This will take you to a page where you can read the comments provided by reviewers for each question in the program review process. 
5. If you submitted multiple programs, return to your list of programs and repeat this process to access reviewer comments for each submission.

Preparing for Your Session

#NASPA25 PowerPoint Template - coming soon!

NASPA is putting the finishing touches on a PowerPoint template designed for the 2025 NASPA Annual Conference. We invite all presenters to utilize both the template itself and the resources provided within the template. These will help you to create your slides with accessibility in mind, and to incorporate a place-conscious perspective into your presentation - beginning with and going beyond a land acknowledgment.

Session Room Details

Your session location will be shared closer to the conference dates. All session rooms will have a podium at the front of the room equipped with one wired microphone attached to the podium, and one head table with three chairs. 

Each room will have a screen and LCD projector with an HDMI connection. Presenters must bring their own laptop and any necessary adapters. Wifi is not guaranteed, so all presentation media (including slide decks) should be downloaded locally in advance or saved on a flash drive.

Uploading Slides and Handouts

Instructions for uploading slides, handouts, and other materials will be shared closer to the conference. In order to create an accessible conference experience for all attendees, please plan to upload your materials no later than one day prior to your session.

Presentation Archive

The NASPA Presentation Archive allows you to access materials from past Annual Conferences whenever and wherever thanks to the Presentation Archive. Presenters may use this resource for examples of past presentations.
