We are no longer accepting proposals for the 2023 Conference program.
However, you can prepare in advance for the next opportunity by reviewing the
details about how to submit your proposal provided below.
Session Proposal Requirements
Session proposals will be submitted using our Session Proposal Form. You

following required information ready to enter. If you leave the platform and
come back later, you will have to start over.

In 75 words or less, state the purpose of the session and summarize what
attendees will take away from the session. The summary paragraph will be
used to help us market the session.

-
A separate document for upload that shows in outline format the proposed
content of the session is required. Please provide enough detail to allow
us to understand the scope and content of the presentation. If the session
is selected, we may ask you to add additional details to the outline to
meet state requirements for continuing education approval.

Provide three learning objectives that summarize what attendees will be
able to do with the knowledge they obtain in the session or how it will
enable them to do their jobs better.

Our program can accommodate a variety of presentation lengths. Please
