We believe that your presentations will help drive innovation and foster new ways to serve your communities. Even if your proposal doesn't seem to fit perfectly with the theme at first glance, don’t hesitate to submit! We’re excited to see how your work contributes to this dynamic conversation. Your insights could provide valuable lessons and spark fresh ideas for your peers across the community.
