Students can take advantage of many opportunities to learn and network at the ASHA Convention.
ASHA uses students to assist in various volunteer roles onsite during the in-person ASHA Convention. As a student volunteer, you will have the opportunity to meet and network with your peers and ASHA members. If you have questions about volunteering, please contact us at studentvolunteer@asha.org.
The Convention Planner and mobile app allow you to search by topic to find sessions that interest you. You can also search by special audience to find sessions identified by the Convention Program Committee to be of interest to students; filter by instructional level to find introductory sessions; or search by author to locate presentations by faculty or fellow students whom you know.
Check out the Audiology Students at the ASHA Convention program that offers a year of free National NSSLHA membership and a registration waiver to attend the 2026 ASHA Convention—with various audiology focused educational opportunities and social events taking place over the three days of the Convention. This annual program provides a great opportunity to connect with other students and colleagues in the audiology community.
Audiology students may also be interested in following the Audiology at the ASHA Convention webpage, which compiles events and activities targeted towards audiologists.
