Call for Proposals

The Call for Proposals for the 2023 Convention & Expo has been extended! This call will be open until May 23, 2022, and will be accepting submissions for: Research-to-Practice Deep Dive sessions; Concurrent sessions; Multi-presentation session presentations; Data Blitz presentations, and poster sessions.

A second Call will open in October for Teacher Slam presentation submissions and a second round of poster session submissions.

To get ready to submit a presentation:

1. Review the various session formats at the convention to see which best fit your content.
  Accepted proposals will be slotted as one of these formats by the Program Advisory Committee (PAC), based on the content of the presentation and how it might complement, align or combine with others (i.e. a multi-presentation session) to create a dynamic education program for 2023 Convention Attendees. Please carefully consider the content of your presentation and which presentation formats could work well to deliver the information. A limited number of slots for each session format will be available. The chances of having your proposal accepted increases substantially by selecting all of the available format options so that the PAC members have the option to incorporate your presentation into the program in a variety of ways.
2. Determine which submission form you'll use with the interactive tool below.
3. Review the submission guide for the appropriate form.
4. Review the presenter policies below. When submitting a proposal, you will be required to agree to all these policies before submitting.
