CSPA Fall Conference

Presented by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) and hosted by Columbia University, the annual Fall Conference is a one-day regional event, offering sequences focused on writing, editing, editorial leadership, design, photography, and digital media, among others.

The CSPA 2024 Fall Conference will take place Monday, November 4, 2024. Registration is open. We look forward to welcoming delegates from around the country to the Columbia campus to connect with each other, receive expert instruction, and exchange ideas. Attendees may choose from more than 60 in-person sessions that offer important training, useful strategies, and meaningful networking opportunities for both students and advisers.

For those unable to join us in person CSPA is offering a virtual registration option. Forty conference sessions will be live-streamed from classrooms across the University campus. Recordings of these sessions will be available to all registered attendees after the event until December 31, 2024.
