Thank you to all who attended the CSPA 2024 Fall Conference that took place November 4, 2024. All Fall Conference attendees are welcome to access the 53 conference sessions that were live-streamed from classrooms across the University campus during the event on CSPA's AttendeeHub. Recordings of these sessions will be available to all registered attendees after the event until December 31, 2024.

The CSPA 2025 Fall Conference will take place on Monday, November 5, 2025.
