Queen City Connections: Building the Future Together
2026 NCACE Conference: Call for Program Proposals
The NCACE Annual Conference Committee is excited to announce the Call for Proposals for our conference in Charlotte, NC scheduled for April 29 to May 1, 2026! Our theme this year is Queen City Connections: Building the Future Together.
The conference committee would like to encourage and invite you to submit a program proposal
that aligns with the theme whether you are new to NCACE, a young professional, a seasoned
member, or identify somewhere in between.
We are especially interested in proposal submissions for employer and university members
to provide interactive and engaging presentations as they share outcomes of an initiative,
project, or partnership that relates to an idea implemented or connections that resulted in new
opportunities for implementation.
As both employers and university leaders continue to navigate an ever-changing environment, we would love to hear about topics related to innovative programs, including flexibility and nimbleness in the current environment, maximizing resources, building and growing collaborations, and rethinking career services and hiring practices.
This year, we will offer two options for programming: breakout sessions and roundtable discussions.
