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.
The call for proposals is now closed. Thank you for your interest!
Given our focus on community participation, we greatly welcome new presenters. Whether this is your first proposal or your first NED, we strongly encourage you to give it a try and submit a proposal. Here are some sample abstracts to assist you in crafting a pitch. We are also holding open Office Hours on July 1st at 2pm and July 2nd at 7pm (eastern) to answer questions and offer advice.
