The NAPLA 2026 Conference, themed "All Hands On Deck," is a three-day event organized by the Northeast Association of Pre-Law Advisors (NAPLA). Scheduled from June 8 to June 10, 2026, in Providence, Rhode Island, the conference aims to provide critical updates and programs for both new and veteran pre-law advisors. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with law school admissions teams and exhibitors from across the pre-law advising profession.

The conference will feature a combination of plenary sessions, 60-minute concurrent sessions, and smaller breakout sessions. These sessions are designed to facilitate participation and contributions from a diverse range of attendees, including pre-law advisors, law school admissions officers, and other pre-law advising partners. The event will be co-hosted by Roger Williams University School of Law and the University of Massachusetts School of Law - Dartmouth.

Practical details include meals provided during the conference registration fee: breakfast and lunch on Monday, all meals on Tuesday, and breakfast on Wednesday. On Monday evening, light hors d’oeuvres will be served during a special reception at the Rhode Island State House. The conference hotel is the Renaissance Providence Downtown Hotel, located adjacent to the Rhode Island State House. Attendees are encouraged to book their accommodations early, as the special NAPLA rate is guaranteed only through May 24, 2026.

The NAPLA 2026 Conference is ideal for pre-law advisors seeking professional development, networking opportunities, and the latest insights into the pre-law advising field. It offers a platform to share resources, discuss recent developments, and collaborate with peers and law school representatives to enhance advising knowledge for the benefit of students and the legal profession.
