Financial Education
Association 2026 Annual Meeting |
Submission Deadline
is June 15th, but acceptances will be generated
weekly between now and then.
The 2026 FEA Conference will be held in San Antonio
at The Historic Menger Hotel, October 1-3, 2026. There will be a few more reminders before the deadline, but please get your
submissions in quickly so we can get things set up and ready.
Please send as soon as possible. Acceptances
and time assignments will be generated on a first-come, first-serve basis and
distributed as quickly as possible by email.
You may submit either an abstract or a completed
paper/case/session proposal. Neither type offers a greater chance of making the program.
With abstracts please take care to adequately describe what you are proposing to
present. Abstracts which are too brief or without substance make it difficult
for the program committee to assess the appropriateness or fit of the proposal.
A workshop or tutorial session is a presentation of some innovation,
techniques or methods that would be useful to others in our profession. A
panel
session sets up a pre-established group to present various topics around a theme
followed by a discussion, and a roundtable is usually led by one or more
moderators but is more of an open discussion of topics among session attendees.
Workshop and panel proposals should ideally include a list of (willing)
participants other than the proposer.
Papers that wish to be considered for the 2026 Best Paper Award (Research) or the Best Paper Award (Pedagogy)
or Best Case should be
sent as early as possible, regardless of the posted deadlines. Only full
paper submissions will be eligible for consideration. Awards are
contingent on sponsorship funding.
Submissions to the 2026 Conference should be
done electronically through a Google form, online. For this the submitting
author must have a Google account to submit the form. Please use the
Google process if you can, as it makes the task much easier for our volunteers.
There is also a MANUAL submission process, below, with its own forms in
MS Word.
A more complete FAQ is given below.

Frequently
Asked Questions
(1) What is the submission deadline and when will I know if my submission is accepted? All paper presentation and workshop/panel discussion proposals must be submitted by June 15 (unless extended on the Home Page). Submitters will be notified by email whether their submission has been accepted. Please send your submissions as soon as you can so we can begin reviewing and ordering them. We can approve them and schedule them earlier if you send them earlier. We will be sending out acceptances weekly, and schedule slots will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
(2) Can a submission be done electronically? By popular demand, we only take them electronically. Please use the Google link at the top of the page if you can. If you can't use the Google form, you can also find a form for manual submission at
(3) Should I submit an entire paper/case or just an abstract? You can submit either. The only rumored advantage to submitting a completed paper is that it provides more information for the program committee to make its decision on possible inclusion on the program. Bottom line: if you have a completed paper, please submit it, but otherwise an abstract is fine. Workshop/Panel Discussion proposals would normally only be abstracts, since such presentations generally do not result in a "completed paper."
(4) Does a completed paper eventually have to be submitted to the program committee? No, but you will be asked to send a copy of your presentation to the chair and other participants of your session to help encourage discussion during the session. Ideally, you should have the finished paper ready at least 3 weeks before the conference. You are also encouraged to bring copies of your completed paper with you for distribution to interested session attendees.
(5) How long should we make the abstract? The suggested length is 1-2 pages, but that is only a suggestion. Obviously, there is no maximum, since we allow submission of completed papers. The 1-2 pages is suggested only as a minimum. Generally speaking, an abstract much shorter than one page would likely not have enough information on what is being proposed, and how it will be accomplished, for the program committee to make a sound judgment on the appropriateness of the submission or to be encouraged that the proposal is likely to be completed.
(6) What happens if I submit a proposal in a format other than that of MS Word? The proposal will not be considered.
Thank you for your support of FEA, and we look forward to seeing you in October.
