The 2026 HiTOP Conference will take place in-person on June 4-6, 2026 at the Coffman Memorial Union on the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities campus. The conference will involve a number of different presentations and activities, including (but not limited to) symposia, individual talks, workgroup updates, and trainee flash talks and posters.  

We look for submissions for symposia, individual (i.e., paper) talks, roundtable discussions, flash talks for a trainee showcase symposium, or posters reporting on recently completed studies or works in progress. We encourage submissions on diverse HiTOP-relevant content areas using varied research methods. We are especially excited to highlight presentations that emphasize HiTOP across development; social, cultural, or other contextual factors; and dissemination and/or implementation of HiTOP in practice. We particularly welcome submissions from women, researchers from other underrepresented or epistemically excluded groups, and early-career scientists. 

Submissions must come from HiTOP members/trainees or be sponsored by a HiTOP member. Abstracts are due by February 15, 2026 at 11.59 PM (UTC-12). 

Individual abstracts should not exceed 1500 characters. For symposia, the chairperson should include an abstract for the symposium as a whole (1500 characters) and the symposia/panel speakers will provide individual abstracts for each presentation (each 1500 characters). These need to be submitted as a package using this form. The overall abstract should include an overview of the content, as well as information about how discussion will be incorporated into the presentation.
