Join us at Rockhurst University for the
2026 JASPA Annual Conference!
"Mission in Motion: Foring Students in a Changing World"
Saturday, March 7, 2026
@ Rockhurst University
Kansas City, Missouri
We are very excited to host you all in Kansas City, MO, at Rockhurst University for the JASPA Annual Conference. This one-day event will include the Annual Conference, JASPA Banquet & Awards, and Club JASPA (evening social).
The conference will begin in the late morning, and all events will conclude by 10:30 PM. All Saturday events will take place on the Rockhurst University campus located just a few miles from the city center. Look for more information including a full schedule and keynote announcement via email and socials in early February!
Registration is now open! View rates and register here!
As a reminder, Kansas City has a wonderful FREE streetcar service that can be used to get around town and to Rockhurst’s campus, so JASPA will not run shuttles from the NASPA conference hotels. Check out the route here: RIDE THE STREETCAR.
For those only attending the JASPA Annual Conference and looking to reserve hotel rooms closest to campus, please view the local options and deals here: HOTEL OPTIONS HERE.
Call for Programs is now live! The theme for the annual conference is "Mission in Motion: Forming Students in a Changing World" and we hope that inspires your program submission. We want you to share with your JASPA colleagues how you're forming students and hosting conversations and events about the realities they'll handle as Jesuit Educated leaders in the world! Presenting at the JASPA annual conference is a wonderful opportunity to share your knowledge and showcase programs, initiatives and host conversations around this topic with fellow colleagues within the Jesuit network.
- Deadline for submissions is February 16.
- Decisions will be sent out via email by February 20.
