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.
A virtual-only registration option is available for those who cannot attend in person; it closes on 21 November 2026.
Dates are compiled from the official convention website. The call for papers for the 2026 convention has closed.
The programme offers more than 2,500 sessions across 32 topic areas: oral seminars, technical sessions, poster presentations and short courses. It also includes the Opening General Session and Awards Ceremony, the exhibit hall, the Graduate School Fair and social events.
Sessions can be searched by topic area, keyword, date or author in the official programme planner. Previous conventions have included audiology-specific events such as a SIG brunch and the “Hear, Here!” Audiology Open House.
The call for papers for the 2026 convention has closed; the programme consists of accepted oral seminars, technical sessions and posters. The call for the 2027 convention (18–20 November 2027, New Orleans) will be announced separately by ASHA.
