Call for Presenters

We invite workshop and poster proposals by counselors, social workers, marriage & family therapists, psychologists, researchers, other mental health professionals, and students. Your proposal should aim to address the needs of mental health professionals, medical providers, activists, allies, affirming clergy, and those in the queer community who attend the conference to learn more about strengthening LGBTQ+ relationships. We accept proposals from individuals and groups of two or more presenters. Selected applicants will be notified by December 15, 2024 and must register for the conference by December 31, 2024 using the discounted rate for presenters.

 

WORKSHOPS: To meet continuing education guidelines, the presenter (or at least one presenter in a group) must be a licensed mental health professional. For topic ideas, review past conference programs here.

​

POSTERS: Poster presenters do not need to be licensed clinicians. We will consider both research and applied posters. While submitting your idea, select “research” if the poster will be presenting your original research, even if clinical applications are included. Select “applied” if the poster will be presenting a synthesis of existing research, theory and/or clinical applications. Here are the APA guidelines for creating posters: https://convention.apa.org/presenters/posters.

​

Proposals should include a captivating title and both long and short abstracts. Workshop proposals should include three or more learning objectives. Tips for generating clear learning objectives can be found at https://aapa.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Learner-centered-objectives.pdf . Please take time to carefully and thoughtfully write your proposal before submitting it through our submission form. We value clinical expertise, research, and life experiences that contribute to the creation of your proposal.
