Call for Proposals Open October 1 – November 1

Submit a Proposal for All Session Types

Proposals for all session types will be accepted until November 1, 2025. You may use the same form to submit your proposal in English or Spanish.

Please note that all presenters must be available to travel to Washington, D.C., and present live and in-person on June 4-6, 2026. All sessions will also be recorded and made available to a broader audience during the on-demand period, from July to September 2026.

Concurrent Sessions (30, 60, or 90 minutes in length)

These sessions make up the bulk of the Symposium education program. You will use this time to go in-depth on a specific topic or share a unique aspect of your work with a worldwide audience.

Poster + Podium Presentations

This is your chance to share a short presentation on your research, interesting case studies, or any other project you think would benefit a global audience. Short presentations like this help you drive future projects and gain interest in your work.
