Call for Programs Is Open!

Program Presenters are a highlight of the conference!  Please consider being a presenter! 

Submit a Program Proposal by Friday, January 23^rd, 2026, to have a chance to present a breakout session during the conference.

Why should you present? Here are just a few of the many reasons:  

• Help advance the field of career development in the Commonwealth of Virginia
• Build your presenting skills (and your resume!)
• Share the work you are doing at your university, company, or organization
• Save some cash! Each accepted proposal comes with a $100 registration discount for up to two presenters. (Please wait until you know if your program is accepted before registering for the conference)  

 In the coming weeks, we will send you more information about our exciting Conference 2026 line-up.  If you have any questions, please reach out to me, the Conference Lead Co-Chair ([email protected]) or Nicole Ramsey, the Conference College Co-Chair ([email protected]).
