Session Proposals

Great ideas deserve a stage.

Submissions are now open for the 2026 SPARC National Conference, and we invite you to share the strategies, lessons, and innovations shaping the future of auxiliary programs. Members willing to share strategies and lessons learned help our community thrive.

We welcome proposals on all aspects of auxiliary program management, including:

• Summer Programs
• Afterschool Programs
• Human Resources and Staff Development 
• Marketing
• Facility Rentals
• Innovation
• Financial Management and Operations
• Auxiliary and AI

Stronger Together

Great sessions often come from collaboration. Consider partnering with colleagues from your school, peers from other institutions, or industry partners to bring multiple perspectives to the conversation. These sessions can:

• Showcase different approaches to common challenges
• Offer richer insights and practical takeaways
• Create more engaging and dynamic presentations

Why Present?

Not sure if your idea is “presentation-ready”? If you’ve tried something that worked, improved a process, or learned valuable lessons along the way, your experience is exactly what the SPARC community values. 

We’re looking for sessions that:

• Deliver practical strategies attendees can implement immediately
• Introduce fresh ideas and emerging best practices
• Inspire new thinking in auxiliary program leadership

Presenting is also a chance to highlight your school’s success, expand your professional network, and build your reputation as a leader in auxiliary program management.

Deadline for submissions is April 17, 2026.

Submit your session proposal today!
