Call for Oral Presentations

Proposals will be reveiwed on a rolling basis; all submissions due no later than 9/1.

We will be accepting general session oral presentations. We want to see presentations that are focused on practice, implementation, creative solutions, and applied research. The planning team is also putting together special sessions in Spanish and a session focused on fantastic failures and we are inviting submissions under those two themes. Depending on submission numbers/quality, the Fantastic Failures session may be a plenary session. 

Proposals will be evaluated for inclusion based on the clarity of the abstract, the relevance of the topic, and its appeal to attendees.

Oral Presentation Categories

  • General oral presentations
  • Fantastic failures (stories of a time when something went wrong, but you ended up learning and emerging as a better practitioner. The goal is to have funny, interesting stories that offer a fresh perspective and shared learning opportunity)
  • Presentations in Spanish

Proposal Due Dates

  • Before September 1: Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the due dates below. Because sessions and presentation opportunities are limited, we highly recommend submitting your abstract as early as possible. We will review the oral presentation proposals received in late July and again in mid-August and send notifications to those who have already submitted at that time.
  • September 1: All submissions due
  • September 15: Organizers and presenters notified of acceptance
