2026 ATHE Dates & Deadlines
Jonathan Beller

Hey ATME friends. I hope you all are doing well. Here’s a quick overview of the ATHE 2026 submission process so you can plan ahead.


The conference runs July 22–26, 2026, in Baltimore. The submission portal opens November 3, and the first round of proposals is due December 12 (11:59pm ET). This round is for fully formed sessions... each must include a session coordinator, at least three presenters, a session title, and a description. Presentation titles for each participant are optional.


If your session isn’t fully formed yet, not a problem… you can opt in to the second round to add more participants later if your session is accepted.


Important dates to keep in mind:


- Week of Feb 23, 2026: First round acceptance notifications sent


- March 9, 2026: Second round submissions open (for individuals joining accepted sessions; no new sessions)


- March 27, 2026: Pre-conference proposals due


- April 20, 2026: Second round acceptance notifications sent


- May 4, 2026: Full conference agenda published & registration opens


- June 26, 2026: Last day for conference hotel rate


- June 29, 2026: Presenter registration deadline


- Week of July 13, 2026: Virtual focus group meetings


- July 22–26, 2026: Conference in Baltimore


You’ll hear from me with reminders as things progress!


So start gathering your collaborators and shaping your sessions asap… things move fast, as you know. And if you want feedback on an idea or need a sounding board for a proposal, just reach out to me or Rachel. We are here to help. Looking forward to seeing ATME well represented in Bmore!


Cheers,


Jonathan
