2025-26 SAIS Session Proposals

This form collects session proposals for multiple SAIS programs. 
 
You may review the current calendar of events HERE.
 
PLEASE NOTE: You will be notified ONLY if your proposal is accepted. While we are unable to respond to those that are not chosen, proposals stay on file for possible future selection.

The power of the SAIS network resides in your willingness to share resources and knowledge. Both members and non-members are encouraged to propose sessions.

Please note that these are not vendor presentations. While presenting provides visibility to your organization, it must be appropriate for both clients and non-clients, be based on a body of evidence, and highlight your expertise rather than your product.
