Welcome to the AAS26 Submission Site

We are thrilled to invite submissions for the AAS26 - 59th Annual Conference held in St. Louis, Missouri, from May 18th - 22nd 2026. This year’s theme is Moving Forward Together: Advancing Suicide Prevention Through Science & Lived Experience. Our annual conference will feature a comprehensive lineup, including pre-conference workshops, 3 days of inspiring keynotes and breakout sessions, and concluding with the Healing After Suicide Loss Summit. Continuing education credits will be available across multiple professional tracks.

The American Association of Suicidology's (AAS) Annual Conference serves as a dynamic platform for exchanging expertise and insights within the suicidology community. We welcome the participation of academics, researchers, clinicians, crisis specialists, individuals with lived experience, loss survivors, advocates, and volunteers who are deeply committed to advancing the work of suicide prevention.

Our field continues to face significant challenges as rates of suicide rise despite increased awareness, grassroots initiatives, and funding. Addressing social determinants of health and uplifting marginalized voices remain crucial to achieving meaningful progress in prevention. We aim to spotlight new and evolving research, foster innovation, and provide practical tools to better equip those on the front lines of suicide prevention.

Join us as we work together to inspire change, elevate best practices, and ultimately enhance the care and support provided to individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
