Welcome to the #NABJ26 Call for Member Session Proposals Portal

The Call for Member Session Proposals is now open until 11:59 PM (PT) on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 for the #NABJ26 Convention & Career Fair scheduled for August 12-16, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia. This deadline will not be extended.

NABJ MEMBER SUBMISSIONS

• Submit a Complete Session Proposal – Log in below by using your current NABJ membership credentials. Please contact [email protected] if you have questions regarding this process.

Due to the anticipated high volume of submissions and limited space availability, NABJ members may submit two (2) session proposals for consideration that explore the current landscape and future of journalism and media. If you have more than two session proposals, another NABJ member may submit your additional proposal(s). Also, if you are submitting a session proposal on behalf of an NABJ Committee or Task Force, please note that in the session description.

Please be prepared to acknowledge several disclaimers and submit the proposed session title, description, track, short bios, social media handles, and professional headshots for all session participants.

NABJ has the final decision on all submitted NABJ session proposals. Duplicate session submissions and topics may be combined by the NABJ Programming Committee. Decisions will be made in late-May and notifications will be sent to the organizer shortly thereafter. We ask that you please do not contact NABJ to inquire about the status of your submission.

Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions.
