We will send program acceptances before the Early Registration deadline passes, so you can make an informed decision before registering.

All sessions are 50 minutes long and presenters will have access to all the standard technology you would expect.

Proposal Deadline: January 15, 2027
Confirmations Sent Before: January 31, 2027

Potential Topics: We’re looking for the best in residence life practice. One of the best things about Roompact is that it attracts schools doing some of the most advanced work in residence life. Roompact schools have a deep interest in developing strong and engaged communities, promoting student development, learning and competency development, and providing care, support, and individualized interventions. Although all participants will be Roompact users not all sessions need to include a Roompact software angle (although that’s certainly a bonus!). Examples include (but are certainly not limited to):

• Highlight your model or a best practice that has produced results for your students or staff
• Show off a process that leverages Roompact’s software to help you be more efficient or effective
• Share your design tips and processes for collecting and using data to inform practice
