Call for Presentations

You've spent years honing your skills as a caring professional who works with men who use violence in their familial relationships. Now share your experience and knowledge by submitting a proposal for consideration as a presentation at the Bridging Perspectives: Intervening With Men Who Batter Conference 2009.

The purpose of these conference presentations is to provide high-quality, innovative education and idea sharing for professionals. Our multiple day, multiple track format offers a self-directed, facilitated learning environment with education sessions, interactive forums, and panel discussions. Presentation sessions, designed to transcend all industry sectors, focus on current and emerging issues, best practices, and challenges facing practitioners and others who intervene with men who batter.

The following are elements we feel are consistent with the conference values and expect to see included in some manner within each presentation proposal:

1. There is not a limit to the number of proposals an individual may submit. Please note discounted presenter fee will remain static despite number of presentations one will deliver. A discounted conference registration fee is the only presenter compensation available.

2. Presentations that market specific products and services will not be accepted. There is a separate vendor track for exhibitors. Click to view Exhibit Hall information.

3. Presentation proposals should conform to specifications and be error-free.

4. All proposals are due November 1, 2008.

5. If accepted, expect to provide a full paper for publication in the Conference Proceedings. If PowerPoint for slide presentations are submitted to inclusion in the Proceedings, a narrative description must accompany them. Proceeding papers are due in electronic form during or immediately following the conference.

6. Confirmation of receipt of proposal submission will be sent to Primary Presenter.

7. Notification of acceptance of presentation will be sent to Primary Presenter in late December 2008.

8. It is expected that any requests for further information will be met by the deadlines stated. It is the responsibility of the Primary Presenter to notify other presenters of acceptance, denial and/or further information needed.

All accepted presenters must register and pay the discounted conference fee.
