Hi John,
Do you have an idea for a panel or training you’d like to see on the agenda at Netroots Nation this summer? Good news: Our community call for session submissions is now open!
➡️ Click here for the guidelines and submission form.
You can submit your idea(s) between now and March 5. As a reminder, this year's conference is happening August 7-9 in New Orleans.
As always, we'll cover a breadth of critical issues important to progressives, but this year's event will have a heavy focus on resistance and building power. You can submit on any issue, but we encourage you to think about your proposal through this lens:
-
Defense: How do we block Trump's worst impulses and protect vulnerable communities on the frontlines of the administration's attacks?
-
Offense: How do we build power and strengthen our movements as we work toward creating a more equal and just world?
We also want to shine a light on what's happening in our host city of New Orleans, so we encourage you to consider including a local speaker in your proposal.
Interested in proposing a skills-based training? We’re looking for trainings that are practical, forward-thinking, and dynamic — and that appeal to a range of experience levels. Some sample topics we're looking to cover include deep canvassing, using AI ethically, the latest in social media and digital tools, countering disinformation/misinformation, and messaging our values.
Please consider diversity as well as how your session can empower others to take what they've learned and apply it in their own work or community. In the submission form, we ask a few demographic questions; we do this to help ensure that our speaker lineup from year to year is diverse and representative of the movement.
We’ll host a couple of webinars in the coming weeks to go over tips and guidelines and give you time to ask questions. The first one is this Thursday at 3pm ET; click here to sign up.
Are you ready to submit your idea? The deadline for submissions is March 5.
➡️ Click here for our guidelines and key dates and then submit your panel or training proposal.
Looking forward to seeing your ideas!
Mary Rickles
Netroots Nation
PS: Submissions are reviewed by topic-based session evaluation committees made up of peers from around the movement. Want to help evaluate sessions? Sign up here.
