Whether you are a seasoned presenter or sharing your work for the first time, we encourage you to contribute to the dialogue and learning that define our annual gathering.

Last year’s schedule featured a dynamic lineup of high-quality presentations, and we look forward to continuing that tradition in 2025. We invite you to submit a proposal for this year’s conference and share your expertise with the Institutional Research (IR) community.

We welcome presentation proposals on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Research findings in IR, planning, or assessment

• Dashboards and data visualization techniques

• The role of IR in strategic planning
