NEACSM 2024 Fall Conference: “Building Bridges: Spanning the Gap Between Professional Silos”
Thursday, October 17 and Friday, October 18, 2024 at the MassMutual Center, Springfield, MA

The title of this year’s conference is “Building Bridges: Spanning the Gap Between Professional Silos." Our goal is to bring together students, researchers, healthcare providers, and educators from diverse professional backgrounds working to further sport and exercise science. We will be featuring invited speakers from a wide array of professional disciplines, including psychology, nutrition, public health, sports medicine, and exercise physiology. It is our hope that by expanding our reach and including professionally diverse perspectives, we will provide a rich platform for education, networking, and community building.

We welcome submissions from researchers, clinicians, and educators who are applying exercise science in nontraditional settings and/or with innovative applications (e.g., mental healthcare, leveraging new technology, integrative medicine). Likewise, we encourage submissions from students and professionals from other disciplines who are actively applying their skills to advance sport and exercise science.

Please complete the form below to submit a general session proposal to the 2024 NEACSM Fall Conference. Please note that all speakers will be provided with an LCD projector, but you are responsible for bringing your own laptop/computer. Please remember that all general session speakers are required to register for the conference.

There are four sections to this proposal. Carefully review each as incomplete proposals will not be accepted.
