Thrive ICT is now accepting abstracts for the 2nd annual 9 to Thrive Conference to be held on Friday, March 6, 2020. Due to the volume of abstract submissions, please be aware that we are not able to select all speakers. Speakers are evaluated and selected by the 9 to Thrive Speaker Selection Committee.
Please note we are seeking presentations and material that go beyond managing the symptoms of trauma and its aftereffects. This year’s theme, Growing Beyond Trauma, is intended to focus on how survivors can transform their experience into a foundation for a thriving life in the aftermath.
Additionally, our goal is that attendees walk away with applicable information and/or practices. If you are sharing about a particular program, please ensure that attendees leave with more than just an understanding of your program/agency.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS
Abstract submission is done electronically via Thrive ICT’s online form. Incomplete proposals will not be considered. If you have any questions please feel free to email Janet Federico at
janet@thriveict.org.
Submission Deadline: Sunday, September 15, 2019
All submissions will be judged on the following criteria:
•
A clearly-defined and focused topic, message, and presentation plan
•
Relevance and timeliness of the topic to the conference theme
•
Information or tools that can be immediately utilized or implemented by attendees
•
