Call for Proposals

Thank you so much for volunteering to contribute your story to enrich our Northeast Ohana Community. Learning from fellow Trailblazers is the very heart of Northeast Dreamin’. This year, we will be convening in person on September 3rd, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Proposal submissions will close on Monday, July 7th at 11:59pm EDT.

As a community-led event, we are committed to providing speaking opportunities to as many people as possible. We will consider up to four (4) breakout proposals, two (2) Hands on Trainings and one (1) keynote per speaker. When submitting multiple entries, please use the same email address each time, including ones where you are a co-presenter.
