CAMPUS STORES CONFERENCE 2025
NEW DATES February 10-13, 2025!
We heard from many of you that the 2025 conference was going to conflict with a number of other community commitments, so we changed the dates of next year’s conference. We’ll be returning to Le Centre Sheraton in Montreal, Quebec for another Campus Stores Conference from February 10-13, 2025! Planning is already in full swing for next year’s conference and we have lots of ways for you to get involved:
Join a committee:
We’re looking for people to help on the programming committees. If you have an interest in making sure that the education, socials, and general flow of the conference are as good as it can be, we encourage you to volunteer a little of your time. It’s a great way to give back to your industry.
Give some feedback:
Now that you’ve had a little time to reflect on the conference we would love to hear from you. What was great? What could have been better? What would you like to see us improve for 2025? The survey will only take a few minutes and it helps us all by improving the conference.
NACS TEXTBOOK AFFORDABILITY CONFERENCE
Supporting Student Success
What can you do to collaborate on campus about course materials and affordability?
How can you learn from colleagues across the higher education community and come away
with an action plan for your campus?
In a two-day working conference, you will interact with a diverse mix of campus professionals; explore textbook affordability strategies; exchange ideas with colleagues; and energize your leadership and confidence. Collectively, through the sharing of success stories, effective practices, and solutions, you and your team can create affordability strategies to implement on your campus.
