Call for speakers
What is the process?
February 19 - March 21 Call for Speakers is open. 2025 Call for Speakers Information
March - April After the Call for Speakers closes, proposals will be read, sorted and ranked by members of the Mpact National Steering Committee (NSC).
April The full National Steering Committee will meet to discuss proposals and curate topics and sessions. Individual NSC members will choose specific sessions to coordinate. NSC coordinators may reach out to you about your proposal.
June The full National Steering Committee will meet again to review and vet proposed conference sessions. This is a back and forth process, involving critique of individual sessions and the program as a whole. Speakers and topics may be adjusted at this point.
July National Steering Committee members will reach out to confirm speakers for sessions and confirm the content to be covered. Speakers will meet with their NSC session coordinator and other participants at least twice - once in July and again prior to the conference.
August All proposers will receive a final decision on their submittal.
