We're looking for presenters who are willing to share what they've learned whether that's an innovative program, emerging research, practical strategy, difficult lesson, or promising idea. Our hope is that every session leaves participants with something new to think about, someone new to learn from, and something they can take back to their own work.

We're looking for sessions that inspire conversation, encourage collaboration, and offer practical value. We welcome proposals that:

  • Share innovative programs, practices, research, or lessons learned. 
  • Translate evidence into practical strategies participants can use. 
  • Explore emerging issues affecting children, families, and communities. 
  • Highlight partnerships across professions, organizations, or systems. 
  • Challenge participants to think differently about complex issues. 
  • Create opportunities for discussion, reflection, and shared learning.
