Call for Proposals

2021 National Conference

The 2021 CAP National conference will be the organization's first hybrid face to face and online conference. This presents CAP with a unique opportunity to reach our constituents.

In order to provide the best possible experience to members CAP is issuing a call for proposals to present on site and virtual conference presentations. Do you have a best practice idea to present? Or a topic to help CAP members be successful? Interested National staff and members are encouraged to submit a conference proposal.

All proposals will be evaluated by a team made up of volunteer members and national staff, and then vetted by the respective offices and functional areas for mission relevance and accuracy.

Proposals

Proud Past - Envisioning the Future

When developing your conference presentation proposal be sure to consider how it relates to the conference theme of Proud Past - Envisioning the Future. The consider who your target audience is, and what opportunities for engagement and interaction you will include. To help you in crafting the best proposal you can for your presentation, use the NASPA Program Submission Guidelines. These guidelines will provide in depth information about the major components of your proposal and provide good (and bad) examples of each.

NASPA Program Submission Guidelines

Remember that whether you are presenting in person or virtually your goal is to provide the best possible experience to your fellow CAP members. To do that you will have to avoid “death by PowerPoint” and focus on how to get your audience fully engaged, and interacting with you, your presentation, and each other.

All presentation types will be allotted 45 minutes save the discovery sessions which are intended to be 6-8. If you are doing a workshop, or other session that would require more time, please indicate it in the final notes of your proposal.
