The Convention Co-Chair for Audiology, Jennifer Simpson, and the Convention Co-Chair for Speech-Language Pathology, Kelly Farquharson, welcome you to submit a proposal to present at the 2023 ASHA Convention. In partnership with the Convention Program Committee, they are working to offer a wide array of sessions to meet the continuing education needs of communication sciences and disorders professionals. Proposals that reflect our theme, "Igniting Innovation," are encouraged.
The 2023 ASHA Convention Call for Papers is open from February 21–April 4, 2023. Please e-mail papers@asha.org if you have any questions about submitting a proposal to present.
The 2023 ASHA Convention will primarily be an in-person event in Boston. There will still be virtual offerings but we are not considering it a true hybrid event, since that term typically applies to a robust and equal online experience. We’re expanding our use of the popular iPosters platform to host both interactive poster presentations, technical sessions, and the new technical demos. These sessions will be available for anyone to view between November 9–29; however, you can only claim continuing education credit for them if you are registered. The good news is that we are offering a lower virtual-only registration rate this year!
Here are some things to look forward to in Boston:
We’re really fired up about our 2023 ASHA Convention theme, “Igniting Innovation,” which is about finding the “I” in innovation. We’re celebrating how each of us is creative in a unique way and how that translates to innovation. Innovation can be anything from incremental to systemic and from low-risk to high-risk, so we can all contribute to a culture of innovation! We’ll be exploring the different types of innovation to help you find your inspiration—the color of your spark. Everyone is an innovator whose spark can ignite change for the better.
Boston, a hub for the technology and medical industries, and home to numerous universities, is known for innovation. It’s the perfect host city for the 2023 ASHA Convention!
