JSA holds several one-day conferences each year. These student-run conferences are typically held on a Saturday on the campus of a major university. Debates, thought talks, guest speakers and simulations fill the day, just like at overnight conventions.
One-day conferences offer students a great chance to prepare for JSA overnight conventions, meet students from nearby high schools and debate and discuss topics within a unifying theme that is less broad than overnight convention themes. Recent JSA one-day conferences have focused on law and justice, American history, elections and foreign policy.
