Presenter Support
Welcome, #NASPA24 Presenters!
Coordinating presenters may log in to the program submission portal at any time to view program decisions and peer review comments, and to complete next steps. For assistance navigating the portal, please review the sections below or visit the FAQ page.
Presenter Membership and Registration Requirements
All presenters must register for the NASPA Annual Conference, and the coordinating presenter must be a NASPA member. Click here to register. Presenters must complete their registration by the regular registration deadline of February 2, 2024. To receive the early registration rate, register by December 15, 2023.
Program Submission and Presenter Portal
You may log in to the program submission portal at any time to access important information about your session. 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, time, and location (all times are listed in Pacific Time for Seattle)
- Update your program
- 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.

Program Updates
Program updates will be accepted through February 2024. The process depends on the type of change:
Add or Remove Presenters
Coordinating presenters may add or remove supporting presenters directly in the submission portal through February 2, 2024. Follow these steps to navigate back to your program submission and edit your presenters:
- Log in with your NASPA credentials.
- 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.
- If the program you are looking for is not on the main page, check the Incomplete programs page instead.
- Click Open or Edit under the Action column.
- 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. Profile updates will begin syncing with programs in December.
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.
Finding Your Program Decision
To view your program decision within the portal, follow these steps:
- Log in with your NASPA credentials.
- This will take you to a page with your program submissions listed in a table. If you submitted multiple programs, they will appear in a list.
- Reference the Final Decision Status column for your program decision.
- Please note that only the coordinating presenter has access to the program information in their portal, and must communicate this information to co-presenters.
Virtual Conference Program Decisions
Program decisions for the NASPA Virtual Conference are separate from the Seattle decisions. Selections for the Virtual Conference are still being finalized, and decisions will be shared by mid-November.
As noted in the submission process, the Virtual Conference will take place following the place-based Annual Conference in Seattle.

- Click Results under the Action column.
- This will take you to a page where you can read the comments provided by reviewers for each question in the program review process.

Preparing for Your Session
#NASPA24 PowerPoint Template
NASPA will provide a PowerPoint template designed for the 2024 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.
Uploading Slides and Handouts
Coordinating presenters may upload completed slides and handouts in the program submission portal. Uploads will be open through March 2024.
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.
