NPEN 2026 CONFERENCE
REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS NOW OPEN!
NPEN's annual virtual conference: A New Era in Parenting Education: Engaging Parents Where They Are Friday, April 17, 2026
As NPEN marks 30 years of advancing the field of science-based parenting education, our goals for this conference are:
1) to explore practical, accessible, and creative ways parenting educators can reach parents where they already live, learn, work, and gather,
2) to evolve the parenting education field with new approaches to parenting education to remain relevant, and
3) to have diverse presenters with varied backgrounds and experiences.
Please note - the intended audience is those who are engaged in the field of parenting education and family science professionals - not parents. Please plan your presentation accordingly as presentations geared toward parents will not be accepted.
If you would like to present at this conference, please complete the application no later than Jan. 19, 2026.
