We are excited to welcome you to the AEFP 2026 Annual Conference in Chicago—our annual gathering of researchers, students, policymakers, and practitioners committed to strengthening education policy and finance through evidence and collaboration.

Please note: You must be an active, paid AEFP member—student or regular—to register for the conference and at the time the conference takes place. If your membership has expired or you are not currently a paid member, you will be prompted to renew or join before completing your conference registration. If your membership is set to expire after you register but before the conference, you can go ahead and renew your membership by clicking “Renew membership” on the first page of the conference registration form. 

In response to the challenges our community is facing, membership and conference registration rates will remain the same as last year. Rates for the AEFP 2026 Annual Conference can be found here.
