About Workshops
The PAA Program Committee invites submissions from individuals or groups to conduct workshops in conjunction with the PAA 2026 Annual Meeting. Workshops topics could include (but not limited to): statistical methods, data set usage, data visualization, research communication, and professional development. Workshop proposals that include a variety of instructional approaches and materials are strongly encouraged.
Please note: Workshop Type
We have introduced a new approach to workshops to expand the opportunity to those who may have funding to host a workshop and would prefer to charge a lower price.
Funded Workshop: A funded workshop has external funding to cover the cost of the workshop, including audio-visual (AV), meeting room rental, wi-fi, workshop presenter travel, etc. The organizer will work directly with the hotel on room set up, food and beverage, and shipping, as well as with the assigned AV provider for AV needs. PAA will include the workshop as part of the PAA 2026 registration process. Registrants will be charged $10/$20 (member/nonmember) for student registrants and $25/$50 (member/nonmember) for all other registrants. We can provide a coupon code for registrants if you'd like to cover the registration cost. Organizers will be charged a $500 administrative fee upon workshop acceptance. Following the meeting, PAA will invoice you for the total costs incurred and any complimentary registrations. The administrative fee must be paid before the workshop is added to the registration site.
PAA Sponsored Workshop: PAA covers all costs, handles the logistical arrangements, and provides one night of hotel for the organizer and up to two complimentary registrations for workshop presenters. Registrants will be charged as follows:
1/2 Day Workshop
-
- Students: $100/$150 (member/nonmember)
- All Others: $150/$200 (member/nonmember)
Full Day Workshop
-
- Students $200/$350 (member/nonmember)
- All Others: $300/$450 (member/nonmember)
The registration fee covers all the costs related to hosting the workshop. Each workshop is required to reach a minimum of eight registrations in order to be presented.
