CSA Annual Meeting Postponed Until 2026
May 6, 2025
After careful consideration, the CSA leadership has made the difficult decision to cancel this year's conference at Messiah University. Ongoing international travel challenges have made it difficult for many of our members outside the U.S. to attend, and abstract submissions have been lower than expected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We are deeply grateful for your engagement and submissions. We plan to reschedule the conference for 2026, retaining the same theme and call for papers. For those who have already made travel arrangements or paid fees, please contact Dr. Matt Vos, CSA President, at [email protected]. Thank you for your continued support of the CSA. We look forward to seeing you at the rescheduled conference in 2026.
