Call for Presentations- EXTENDED
The AHMA-NCH Conference Committee is seeking presentations for educational sessions designed to educate affordable housing professionals at the AHMA-NCH Annual Conference & Trade Show which will be held August 30-31st, 2022 at the SAFE Convention Center in Sacramento, CA.

We invite presenters to submit current, original content proposals for the conference.
The deadline for submitting proposals for the first review round is December 17th. AHMA-NCH will notify all selected speakers by April 1st.

Proposals will be accepted for:
Presentations – Team or individual proposals accepted. Sessions will run 60-90 minutes. Proposals for full day training will also be accepted and considered for education outside of the conference.

• A presenter can propose multiple sessions, but we are not specifically seeking presenters who can fill multiple timeslots.

Panels – Panel discussions will be considered. They may be organized and submitted as a group by a panel coordinator, or an individual may submit their particular viewpoint to become part of a panel.

The conference committee will set the day and time for each presentation, in order to maximize the sequencing and flow of content and tracks.

Only presentations that are product-neutral and affordable housing management and advocacy related will be considered. Presentation selections will be made based upon desired topics, content, educational value, and understanding of the content.

• Format. Is the format conducive to adult learning? Are participatory learning formats used? Is the session designed to address all learning types?
• Presenter. Is the presenter knowledgeable, experienced, and credible in the proposed content area?

Speaker benefits:
AHMA-NCH has a very small budget for our speakers. If you require an honorarium and travel expenses in order to present, please include that request in your proposal. All speakers will receive the following: a complimentary pass to the conference with access to the keynote sessions, all sessions, panels, and receptions, including the formal dinner.
