About ASHA 2026

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) annual convention takes place on 19–21 November 2026 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana.

According to the official site, the convention brings together audiologists, speech-language pathologists and speech, language and hearing scientists: approximately 15,000 attendees and more than 2,500 sessions. Sessions qualify for ASHA continuing education credit across 32 topic areas.

Because it spans both audiology and speech-language pathology, the programme is rich in topics where the two fields meet, such as childhood hearing loss and language development, and auditory rehabilitation.
