Call for Speakers
NCFA is pleased to announce a Call for Speakers for the 2025 National Adoption Conference!
The conference will be held June 27-29, 2025, in Minneapolis, MN.
We invite you to share your insights and experience. Whether you've worked in the field for decades or you'd like to share constructive applications from your lived experience story for adoption professionals, we want to hear from you!
We are seeking speakers who will elevate diverse perspectives and address emerging topics and recent research. Most conference attendees are adoption professionals including social workers and clinicians, executive directors, agency staff, and attorneys.
We are prioritizing topics and formats that will result in strong audience engagement, specific and practical application, and reflect relevant issues in adoption practice.
Submission Deadline: The call for speakers will close on September 30th, 2024. We will notify speakers of acceptance on a rolling basis starting in November 2024.
