We seek 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 prioritize topics and formats that will result in strong audience engagement, specific and practical application, and reflect relevant issues in adoption practice.
