ASPA 2026
The Adventist Student Personnel Association invites you to join us for our annual conference from March 15-19, 2026. This year our conference will take place at Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama.
Our theme is "Forming Identity in Christ: Meeting Students Where They Are!" We are working hard to create a schedule that will allow you to spiritually recharge and grow both spiritually and professionally. We hope you will be able to join us!
Please submit one application per person. You must pay at the time of application submission. Apply by January 31, 2026 to get the "early bird" discount!
Each application is valid for only ONE person. Please have each attendee submit their own application (spouses included). Note: If you have a spouse and/or children who will be eating meals with the conference attendees but not attending any of the conference programs, there is a place on the registration form to indicate their attendance for meals only.
