2026 masfaa MINI CONFERENCE

Mini-MASFAA is Back – And We’re Talking AI! Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we work. Are you ready? The Professional Development and Advocacy Committee invites you to a fully virtual, AI-focused Mini-Conference the week of July 20, 2026. Attendees will gain a foundational understanding through clear overviews of AI, receive the latest updates directly from the NASFAA AI Taskforce and member instituations, hear from FSA, while also having the opportunity to sharpen their professional skills during a guided, hands-on workshop.

Registration is just $50 per institution, giving your entire team access to the full week of live and recorded sessions, available for on-demand viewing for a full year.

View the agenda here.

Only one person from your institution needs to complete this registration and can then add additional staff as "guests". The person registering for the institution will add each guest individually during the registration process, prior to paying. It's important to note that once you have completed registration, you will not be able to add additional guests. After the registration process is complete, you and all of your guests will receive an e-mail with information explaining how to sign up for individual sessions. If you have any questions about registering your team, need to add additional guests, or have any other questions about this conference, please contact masfaamatters@masfaaweb.org.
