The 2022 CASFAA Conference Committee is in full swing preparing for this year’s conference Better Together, at the Santa Clara Marriott Convention Center, October 23-25, 2022.

These past few years have been challenging to us, our students and our colleges. We need your help to develop a program that meets your needs today and into the future.  As an association whose mission includes a tradition of providing quality training to the membership by the membership, we rely on you to share your expertise, best practices, pains and gains. 

Do you have expertise you can share with your CASFAA colleagues, or know of a colleague who has done a terrific session and is willing to offer it?  Have you recently attended a session that you thought your colleagues could benefit from? Is there a topic that you would really like to see a session on or see repeated from a past conference? Submit these ideas on the following proposal form today! 

CASFAA 2022 Interest Session Proposal Form

• If you know of a strong speaker with a topic your colleagues could benefit from, see if they would be willing to present. You can also submit their information and topic and we can try to reach out to them.
• If you have a topic you'd like to see covered, share with us some of the questions you'd like answered as well as anyone you think has the expertise (if anyone), and we'll try to track down an expert.

If you have questions or just need to submit ideas and proposals, you can contact either of the program co-chairs.  We would be happy to discuss your session ideas and help you develop them.
