Call for Presentations

Welcome!

CADCA invites proposals for training sessions that highlight the latest research, innovative program successes, lessons learned, or effective solutions to common challenges. Sessions should be interactive, engaging, and designed to help participants apply concepts to real-world practice. Proposals are due by Monday, September 21 at 11:59 PM ET.

We’ve developed a Resource Guide with everything you need to craft a strong proposal, including definitions of the CADCA Coalition Competencies, guidance for writing titles, descriptions, and learning objectives.

Submission Guidelines 


  • Sessions are 75 minutes in length.
  • Each proposal must align with up to two CADCA Coalition Competencies.
    • View our Resource Guide for definitions of the competencies.
  • Please list presenters in the correct order.

Presenter Benefits


  • Lead Presenter receives:
    • Complimentary Forum registration
    • One night of lodging (room & tax only) at a Forum hotel 
  • Additional Presenters must register at the applicable rate. No additional reimbursement is available. 

Tips for a Strong Proposal


  • Write clear, engaging titles and descriptions. Please avoid using colons in your title. 
  • Include measurable learning objectives.
  • Make it interactive and practical. Attendees should walk away with tools they can use.
  • Ground your session in a real coalition example, not just theory.
  • More tips are available in our Resource Guide.
