Please contact us at papers@asha.org if you have any questions about the Call for Papers.
The Convention Program Committee Chairs invite you to submit a proposal to present at the 2025 ASHA Convention. Our 2025 theme—“Envisioning Possibilities for the Future”—is a reflection on our legacy as we celebrate the Association's 100th Anniversary and a charge to look forward to imagine the future of the professions. The Chairs encourage you to share your innovations and contribute to the exciting conversations that will shape the next 100 years of the professions at the ASHA Convention this year.
Please read the Submission Guidelines carefully before you log in to submit your proposal. The guidelines, topic areas, session formats, and requirements are reviewed and updated each year. The guidelines outline the submission process, define terms, and provide explanations of information required to submit a proposal.
The education program covers 33 topic areas related to the professions. All proposals must correlate to one of the topic areas.
Read the full description of each session format offered at the ASHA Convention. Proposals may be submitted for any of the following session formats:
Before submitting your proposal to the Call for Papers, it is extremely important that you read, understand, and agree to follow the principles, guidelines, and procedures outlined in the Author Agreement and Disclosure Policy.
IMPORTANT: All authors listed on the proposal are required to complete the disclosure form and submit a bio by Wednesday, April 23, 2025, 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time. If EACH author does not complete their disclosure, the ENTIRE PROPOSAL will be administratively withdrawn.
Authors of 1-hour sessions have the opportunity to allow a recording of their session to be included in the ASHA Learning Pass, ASHA's extensive catalog of credible, curated online course content. Having your session in the Learning Pass post-Convention greatly expands the reach of your presentation, allowing more members to benefit from your content.
If submitters select “yes” or “maybe” to the question in the Call for Papers that asks if they want their session considered AND the session is accepted, ASHA Professional Development will consider the session for inclusion in the Learning Pass. Due to technical, time, and space limitations, we can only include a limited number of sessions.
If the session is selected, each presenting author will receive an email letting them know and asking them to complete an additional agreement. If any of the presenting authors decide they do notwant their session included, they can opt not to fill out the agreement and the session will not be included. If allpresenting authors complete the agreement, your live ASHA Convention presentation (audio and slides only) will be recorded on-site.
Recorded sessions will become part of the Learning Pass (accessible only to registered learners, within our ASHA Learning Center) and be eligible for continuing education credit (ASHA CEUs or professional development hours) for up to 5 years (the standard period for which ASHA typically offers courses for CE credit).
