The 2026 Annual Meeting of the New England Political Science Association will convene on April 23-25, 2026, at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Burlington, Vermont.  Panels will be held on Friday, April 24 and Saturday, April 25; a pre-conference welcome event will be held on Thursday, April 23.

​

To submit a proposal for the 2026 Annual Meeting, please roll your cursor over "2026 CONFERENCE" in the menubar, and select the appropriate page in the drop-down menu.  Please note that there are two separate pages for paper submissions: one for faculty and graduate students, and a second page for undergraduates.

​

Please also note that where a full pre-formed panel is being submitted, each paper panelist must submit a proposal for their own paper in addition to the panel chair's submission of the panel itself.

​

We also invite volunteers to serve on panels as chairs and/or discussants; there is a page in the drop-down menu to volunteer.  Direct links to submit are also available here (click on the appropriate item):

Conference registration and hotel reservation pages will be available in the drop-down menu in early 2026, after proposal decisions have been communicated.  The registration rates for NEPSA 2026 will be between $180 and $250 for current faculty (rate is based on professional income level), $100 for graduate students and emeritus faculty, and $90 for undergraduate students; each of these rates will reflect a pre-conference registration discount.  The conference hotel room rate will be $195 per night.
