About the Conference
The annual CAMMP conference is one of the highlights of the year for members of our organization. It provides invaluable opportunities to network with fellow CAMMP members as well as dozens of vendors who sponsor the conference.
The conference is hosted in July on the campus of a member institution. This year the conference will be held at the University of Nebraska from July 21-23, 2026. There is a limit of three CAMMP members from each institution who can attend at the base rate of $100 per attendee. An institution may bring more team members for an additional fee of $250 per person above the three. Attendees must be active members of CAMMP whose job responsibilities align with our membership requirements.

Transportation Information
The University of Nebraska is located in Lincoln, Nebraska. The closest regional airport is Lincoln (LNK), located only 10 minutes from Lincoln. The closest major airport is Omaha (OMA), which is located an hour from Lincoln. While Lincoln Airport offers the most direct access to campus, many travelers will find more flight options and competitive fares into Omaha.
Traveling from Omaha to Lincoln
Please note that Omaha is located approximately 60 miles (about a 1-hour drive) from Lincoln.
Attendees flying into Omaha have several convenient options to reach Lincoln:
- Rental Car: Available at Eppley Airfield; the most flexible option for travel and getting around during your stay.
- Rideshare: Services like Uber and Lyft operate from Omaha to Lincoln, though availability and pricing may vary.
- Private Shuttle Services: Several regional providers offer pre-booked shuttle or car service between Omaha and Lincoln.
We recommend arranging your transportation in advance, particularly if arriving during peak travel times.
Marketing Materials
CAMMP is a great place to show off your creative marketing materials AND get some new ideas! To save space in your luggage, you can pre-ship the materials you would like to share.
Please ensure your boxes are clearly labeled with CAMMP and your school’s name in sticker or marker on the exterior packaging. If you have more than one box, please mark outside accordingly, e.g. Box 1 of 2, Box 2 of 2. We want to ensure your materials are waiting for you. We do ask that boxes not arrive prior to Monday, July 6, and no later than Wednesday, July 15.
Please ship your marketing materials to:

Conference Scholarship
The annual CAMMP conference is one of the highlights of the year for members of our organization. It provides invaluable opportunities to network with fellow CAMMP members as well as dozens of vendors who sponsor the conference costs. However, in recent years many potential conference attendees – as well as conference veterans – have encountered budgetary and/or supervisor approval barriers that have prevented them from attending the annual CAMMP conference.
To address these barriers, a CAMMP conference scholarship program was launched in 2019. The scholarship will help to cover travel and lodging expenses for the 2026 conference. The committee will evaluate submissions, and the CAMMP Board of Directors will make the final selection.
The application will open on March 16, 2026. Completed applications must be submitted by April 24, 2026. Selected recipients will be contacted after May 15, and an announcement will be posted to the CAMMP website on May 26.
Scholarships will be capped at $1,000 per participant for eligible travel expenses. The conference registration fee will be waived for scholarship recipients. Click here to view the terms and conditions of our scholarship program.
