2026 Conference Information will be live September 1, 2025!! Join us in San Antonio, TX
The annual TEXAAN conference has evolved into a pivotal event within the field. Initially established as a platform for sharing best practices and fostering collaboration among academic advisors, it has since grown into a comprehensive forum that addresses emerging challenges and trends in higher education.
The conference offers poster sessions, exhibitor presentations and formal and informal networking opportunities. Embedded within the conference are the New Professional Advisors Institute and the Mid-level managers institute that provide development on key topics, best practices within the workplace, and more.
Over the years, the conference has attracted scholars, administrators, and advisors from diverse backgrounds, offering a rich exchange of ideas, workshops, and networking opportunities. Today, it stands as a cornerstone event, empowering professionals to enhance student success and advance the field of academic advising.
TEXAAN serves as a professional representation of academic advising in Texas by providing professional development, networking, recognition, and dissemination of information. Our goals are to (1) establish a communication network for academic advisors at institutions of higher education in Texas, (2) assist with the implementation of professional standards as defined by NACADA core values of Academic Advising, (3) serve as the liaison for Texas professional, governing, and education agencies, (4) maintain active affiliation with NACADA both regionally and nationally, and (5) offer an annual conference for Texas academic advisors, counselors, and higher education professionals.
