Field/Internship Coordinators are encouraged to register and attend the Pre-Conference on the evening of Wednesday, September 30, 2026This year’s theme, “From Classroom to Community: Transforming Social Work Education for Real World Impact,” highlights the critical role of social work education in preparing practitioners to address complex, real-world challenges. The conference will provide a dynamic forum for sharing innovative research, teaching strategies, and practice approaches that bridge academic learning, practice skills, and community engagement.OUR HISTORY:From 1969 to 1971, social work faculty from the southern states met four times a year as part of a faculty development project of the Southern Regional Education Board. When the project ended, faculty from Alabama and Mississippi schools decided to form a conference to further the bonds they had developed.Objectives of the conference were: to promote the transfer of information among schools providing social welfare education courses in the states of Alabama and Mississippi; to provide a forum for issues and problems of regional importance for the two states; and to enable individual schools and faculty members to be sensitive and responsive to the changing demands of social work education. The first three conferences were hosted by the University of Alabama, and starting in 1975 the conference was rotated among social work programs in the two states.Today, representatives from all 27-CSWE accredited social work programs in Alabama and Mississippi and programs from surrounding states participate in the annual conference. Many of these programs bring their students who participate in programming and seek out employment and further educational opportunities.HOTEL INFORMATION: The Hilton, Jackson, Jackson, MississippiThe Conference Committee has secured a deeply discounted rate ($120/night plus taxes) for a limited number of rooms at the official conference hotel:To reserve your discounted room, please use the following link:Guests may make reservations by clicking the link below or by calling 1-800-678-4126 and providing the group code.Group Code: ALMSBooking Link: https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reservation/deeplink/?ctyhocn=JANJHHF&groupCode=ALMS&arrivaldate=2026-09-30&departuredate=2026-10-02&cid=OM,WW,HILTONLINK,EN,DirectLink&fromId=HILTONLINKDIRECTRooms at the discounted rate are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
