John,
We're excited to announce that our panel and training submission process for Netroots Nation 2023, July 13-15 in Chicago, is now officially open.
Do you have an idea for a session you’d like to see on the agenda this summer? It’s time to submit your proposal!
Click here for the guidelines and submission form.
We want to highlight the work being done by activists and organizations around the country, from national campaigns to local grassroots organizing, as well as to shine a light on what's happening locally in our host city of Chicago.
You can submit on any topic, but here are a few areas we’re looking to emphasize this year:
- Panels discussing the midterms and lessons learned for 2024
- Conversations about organizing and building long-term power
- Sessions about current events and issues (examples: the economy, climate change, gun reform, reproductive justice, ending police violence)
- Discussions about moving progressive legislation forward in states and nationally
- Trainings that help newer activists grow into successful organizers
- Advanced trainings that focus on cutting-edge tools and techniques
Please consider diversity as well as how your session could empower others to take what they've heard and use it in their own work. In the submission form, we ask a few demographic questions. We do this to help ensure that our speaker lineup each year is diverse and fully representative of the progressive movement.
By submitting a proposal, you're taking responsibility as the organizer of the session. We’ll guide you along the way, but ultimately it’ll be your baby.
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 webinars are tomorrow, February 2 and Tuesday, February 14 at 3pm ET; you can sign up for either webinar by clicking the date.)
Are you ready to submit your idea? The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, February 22.
Click here to read the full list of guidelines and key dates and then submit your panel or training proposal.
Looking forward to seeing your ideas!
Mary Rickles
Netroots Nation
PS: Ever wonder how sessions are selected? Submissions are reviewed by topic-based panel selection committees made up of peers from around the movement. Want to help score sessions? Sign up here.
