Bring a team of school- and university-based partners and use the NASUP conference as a strategic opportunity to strengthen your partnership work. In this guided pre- and post-conference experience, teams will identify a meaningful partnership challenge, navigate the conference with intention by selecting sessions aligned to their goals, and engage in targeted professional learning focused on building, sustaining, and renewing school-university partnerships.

Throughout the experience, teams will work collaboratively to gather ideas, deepen their understanding of effective partnership practices, and apply their learning in real time. In the concluding post-conference session, participants will synthesize insights and develop a practical action plan to guide their work moving forward—with the goal of returning to NASUP to share their progress in the future. You won’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity to advance your partnership!
