BSPA 2026 Conference

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 12th Annual BSPA Conference at the Harvard Kennedy School. It was wonderful to see so many members of our community come together for two days of engaging discussions, networking, and learning.

We are especially grateful to our outstanding keynote speakers, whose presentations spanned a diverse range of topics, as well as to all of our session speakers and poster presenters for sharing their research and insights. Highlights of the conference included two excellent book panels and many other thought-provoking sessions that made the event such a success.
