Nov. 12-14, 2026 | Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront

The OSBA Annual Convention is Oregon’s premier continuing education program — delivering practical solutions to help school board members, superintendents and all types of education leaders improve student learning and achievement.

Whether you are a first-time attendee or a veteran board member, school administrator or administrative professional, you’ll leave the conference with practical ideas and a renewed commitment to help your school accomplish the critical work ahead. The convention features some of the best practices from school districts, education service districts, charter schools and community colleges across the state.

(You will find additional event information at the bottom of the page.)

Workshop Proposal Request Form

We welcome proposals from school districts, education service districts, charter schools, community college boards and executives, as well as education partners that are making a difference for students and communities.

Administrative professionals, including board clerks, secretaries and executive or administrative assistants, are also strongly encouraged to submit proposals. OSBA continues to offer workshops designed specifically to include administrative professional audiences, and we welcome presentations that share practical tools, processes, lessons learned and innovative practices from the administrative professional perspective.
