Denver, Colorado!
Submit Your Session Proposals Now!
Denver is calling…for you to submit your session proposals before May 31st.
This fall, our research administration community will come together for the NCURA Region VI & VII Meeting in the heart of Colorado. It’s the perfect backdrop for our 2026 theme, “Saddle Up for Success.”
The research landscape shifted fast, and the demands on research administrators are evolving just as quickly. That’s why we plan to design this year’s program to go beyond traditional professional development. You can help build a powerful, practice‑focused curriculum that tackles real‑world implementation—policies, processes, strategies, and share the tools we all need to lead confidently through change. Your voice belongs at the center of this year’s regional meeting.
We’re inviting passionate leaders like you to help shape the program by submitting a session proposal. When you share your expertise, you elevate the entire conference, making it more relevant, more dynamic, and more impactful for everyone who attends.
Submit Your Session Proposals Here
The deadline for submission is Sunday, May 31, 2026.
