2019 Workshop Submissions
We’re looking for presenters with a range of expertise, skills, background, and instruction styles to share their knowledge with our conference audience. The Madison Nonprofit Day Conference is a diverse, dynamic, and engaging space for nonprofit and social good professionals to learn, connect, grow, and share.

Each year, we do an open call for proposals for the conference. Your submission opens us to new ideas, new takes on old topics, and provides us the opportunity to develop a creative, explorative conference agenda that offers growth and learning opportunities for a cross-sector, cross-discipline, mixed skills, multi-cultural audience. It also helps shapes the conversation, practice, and focus of attendees for the months ahead. Thank you, for your submission.

Dates and Timelines
The 'Call for Proposals' is open. For the next month we will be collecting workshop proposals for the 2019 Madison Nonprofit Day Conference. We opened the call on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 and will close it on Friday, May 31, 2019. At that time, we will begin our assessment of submissions and release a review process and decision schedule, by Friday, June 7, 2019.
Notes
•  Potential presenters can submit multiple workshop proposals. If submitting multiple workshops, please limit the number to no more than five (5) potential workshops.
•  There are no conference fees for presenters and a guest ticket is included for each presenter, including panelists.
•  Unfortunately, to keep the conference costs low, there are no presentation stipends either. Contact us with questions.
•  The Emergent Issue / Perspective category is for workshops addressing topics you feel the social sector needs to be aware of or has fallen behind in. Former examples include design thinking, using data, employee pay, etc.
•  The Emergent Issue classification is not a dumping ground for race and diversity issues. Please place diversity issues based on your approach towards addressing, for example— increasing diversity in the hiring process belongs in 'organizational development / operations,' while strengthening diverse leaders would fall under 'leadership.'
