The 2026 SHAPE PA State Conference will take place November 12–13 at Spooky Nook Sports in Manheim, PA. As our premier professional development event, the conference will feature more than 60 dynamic sessions and Coffee Talks led by top health and physical education professionals from across Pennsylvania and beyond.

We are proud to offer dedicated programming for our future professionals, including a keynote luncheon, interactive roundtable discussions, and an exciting Chopped Challenge where college teams will be tasked with designing and leading a quick activity on the spot—using only limited equipment provided (think bean bags, cones, gator balls, hula hoops, and more).

Each round focuses on a different grade level and standard, challenging teams to think on their feet and bring standards-based instruction to life in a fun and engaging way. This conference is truly one of the most impactful experiences available to college students preparing to enter the field.

By sponsoring a student’s attendance, you are making a meaningful investment in the future of health and physical education in Pennsylvania. Thank you for considering this opportunity to support and inspire the next generation of professionals. Visit our conference page to learn more about what’s in store for this year’s event!
