Speaking Opportunities
- Call For Proposals Are Open!
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Health promotion fundamentals including marketing, communication, measurement and evaluation, and systems or culture change
- Practical applications of neuroscience in health promotion which address multiple dimensions of well-being (e.g., physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual)
- Health promotion case studies demonstrating how interventions work across sectors and settings, from schools to workplaces to retirement communities
- Emerging research and science informing the health promotion industry
Conference attendees are experienced professionals at various stages of their career. They are looking for evidence-informed, research-backed content that will improve their professional practice. Typically, content at an intermediate or advanced level is more appropriate than introductory content for this audience. However, if a proposal draws on lessons from outside the health promotion industry (e.g., artificial intelligence), it might be appropriate to be introductory.
