Present at ADRP 2021 - Now Closed!

Submit a Proposal for the 2021 ADRP Virtual International Conference

We are thrilled to share the call for presentation proposals for ADRP’s 2021 Virtual International Conference, September 22–24. Now that the conference is virtual, you will have a platform larger than any convention center or hotel could ever provide. Share your big ideas to this big world of ours and submit your proposal today. If selected by the 2021 Content Committee, you could be presenting to donor relations pros from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds, and who have varying and vast levels of experience. 

We have devoted space to feature industry trends and discuss social issues that affect our profession. Tracks will be tailored to the following categories:

  • Foundational – How to build a strong foundation for your donor relations/stewardship programs
  • Skill-Building – What tools/concepts you can apply to enhance your work
  • Strategic/Theoretical – Why your work matters and is essential to achieving your organization’s mission
  • DEI – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - How can our industry adapt to social change and become more inclusive
  • Industry Trends and Hot Topics – The new, the now and the next practices

Together we are building a better tomorrow and your brightest ideas illuminate the path forward. 

The call for speaker proposals is now closed. Thank you to all who submitted their big ideas! 

Considerations:

  • We welcome a broad range of topics that would be of interest to donor relations and stewardship professionals.
  • Attendees have a wide range of experience. A session can be general in scope or targeted to a demographic such as experience level, field (educational, healthcare, social service, arts, etc.), or shop size. The choice is yours.
  • Make your session dynamic! You are encouraged to interact with the audience—people learn best when they’re engaged with the speaker via discussion and/or questions. Presenters can fly solo or partner with others, however, the 50% registration discount applies to the session, not each presenter.
  • Please submit by April 30, 2021
