Dear NCURA Members,

After 67 Annual Meetings in Washington, DC, NCURA is heading to New York City August 1-4, 2026 – and we are officially in a New York state of mind.

We hope you’ll join us for AM68 – the first NCURA Annual Meeting in New York City! As you plan your trip, please note a few important schedule changes: workshops will be available on various days, conference sessions begin Sunday, and the meeting will conclude at noon on Tuesday. We’re also excited to kick things off with the 5th annual AI Symposium on July 31, adding even more opportunities to learn, connect, and explore what’s next.

Our theme for AM68, The Power of Community, reminds us that research administration is never done alone. Our best solutions, boldest ideas, and strongest support systems are built together. Being in New York City feels especially fitting – it’s a place where connections happen naturally and collaboration is simply the way of life.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible Program Committee for their creativity, dedication, and countless hours spent crafting an extraordinary and forward-looking program. We are equally grateful to NCURA staff, whose tireless behind-the-scenes efforts make it possible to deliver a truly world-class conference year after year.

We hope you leave AM68 feeling re-energized by new connections, empowered by shared knowledge, and reminded that collaboration amplifies impact. Most of all, we hope you leave knowing that NCURA’s greatest strength isn’t just our expertise – it’s each other.

Join us in New York City and be part of the energy, the conversation, and the community at AM68.

Sincerely,

Diane, Natalie and Amy
