Who should submit a proposal?
We invite proposals presented by and geared toward medical providers, mental health providers, social workers, activists, researchers, people living with HIV, LGBTQ+ community members, and others with interest in LGBTQ+ and HIV health equity.
Individuals or groups may submit proposals. We value both professional and lived experience.
A conference proposal, also known as an abstract, is a brief summary and description of your (proposed) presentation. Its purpose is to capture the interest of a potential attendee. Think of it like a business card – you tell the audience some basic information that makes them want to learn more!
We consider proposals for presentations, workshops, and panel discussion. You may choose to present in-person at Transforming Care Conference or pre-record your presentation for our virtual track. Select presentations will be livestreamed to our virtual audience.
Yes! We invite all voices to participate at Transforming Care. Our team can help develop your abstract by
- Clarifying how your topic relates to this year’s TCC theme
- Explaining how your topic is relevant to the conference audience
- Determining how best to summarize your ideas and next steps
- Coming up with a descriptive and engaging title
