NASMC 2026 ignited by SPARKS! | Call for Abstracts Live!

NORTH AMERICAN SOCIAL MARKETING CONFERENCE 2026 IGNITED BY SPARKS!

BIG IDEAS | SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS

 

The Call for Abstracts for the 2026 North American Social Marketing Conference is now open.

Building on the success of our partnership with University of South Florida at the 2024 conference, the Social Marketing Association of North America (SMANA) is excited to partner again – this time with the Northwest Social Marketing Association (SPARKS) – to bring together two established communities to create a strong, connected event. It is a deliberate step forward, combining the depth of NASMC with the energy and innovation of SPARKS to shape a dynamic program.

Taking place in Victoria, Canada this October, NASMC 2026 will bring together researchers, practitioners, policymakers and changemakers to explore how social marketing can respond to some of the most pressing challenges facing our communities today. 

We are now inviting short abstract submissions that demonstrate how social marketing principles, tools and approaches are being applied to influence behavior for social good. Contributions can include research, case studies, discussion sessions, evaluations, theoretical work or practical insights across three core areas: Health, Environment and Safety. 

If you have work that comes with big ideas, advances the field, challenges thinking, or offers practical learning others can apply in their drive to create sustainable and equitable change, we want to hear from you.

Abstract submission deadline: June 15, 2026
