The Association for STEMM Pathway and Bridge Programs (ASPBP) 2026 Program Committee is proud to announce that the ASPBP 2026 Conference will occur October 6-8, 2026! We will be returning to our virtual format this year. This year's theme is "Reimagining Student Transitions in a Changing Higher Ed Landscape."
We are excited to once again expand conference programming over three days to increase learning opportunities and foster more engagement across the network! Get ready to explore new ideas, meet fresh faces, and discover new ways to grow the success of your pathway or bridge program students! Registration will begin in July.
Call for abstracts, discussions, and panelists!

We will also be offering panel discussions in both traditional and non-traditional formats. If you have interest in participating in a panel discussion but do not have a panel in which to participate, please click HERE to learn more and apply as an individual panelist!
Due to the virtual format, we encourage you to research innovative ways to virtually engage participants. Collaborative submissions are encouraged!
All abstract submissions will be peer-reviewed using the following criteria: clarity of the proposal, the quality of content in the proposal, and interest to the ASPBP community. Potential presenters are encouraged to illustrate the innovative nature and/or timeliness of the content to be presented.
Abstract submission deadline: May 25, 2026 at 11:59pm Eastern.
