✨CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS✨
Our goal for the 2026 APA Quad State Conference is to "unconference" the conference. While we will still need to provide everything required to earn your CM credits, we want you to rethink how you attend and engage at these professional gatherings. We want to hear your stories, not lectures. We want a conversation amongst all participants, not just among panelists. We want engaging activities, not guided tours.
What could this look like in action?
It could be as simple as the composition of your session speakers. It could be inviting other design professionals into the conversation. It could even be how long the session is or how you set up the room!
Our aim is for planners to leave feeling energized and empowered to drive change in their lives and communities.
Visit the conference website for more details and to submit your proposal!
