The SHAPE America National Convention & Expo is the leading professional development opportunity for health and
physical education professionals — from preK–12 educators who teach our country’s youth about the benefits of living a
healthy, physically active lifestyle, to university professors who conduct much-needed research and teach our
industry’s future professionals.
In 2023, this event will be held in Seattle, March 28 – April 1. SHAPE America is seeking high-quality proposals that
will be delivered through an equity, diversity, and inclusion lens and address a full range of issues facing health
and physical educators, administrators, and other key stakeholders as they seek to put all children on the path to
health and physical literacy.
Your submission will help mold a national program that will prepare, inspire and strengthen the health and physical
education profession to meet the demands of an ever-changing world.
