Call for Workshops: 2026 Annual Conference

Help shape the Annual Conference in Charlotte

Every summer, our Annual Conference becomes a place where people who stutter take center stage to be heard and valued. And this July, we’re heading to Charlotte, North Carolina—and we want you to help shape what happens there.

We invite you to submit a proposal for consideration. Workshops are a core part of the experience and reflect the creativity, lived experience, research, advocacy, and leadership within our community.

All workshop proposals must include:

  • Title of the proposed workshop

  • Summary or description of the workshop

  • Target audience

  • Preferred day and time

  • Names of all presenters (including panelists or roundtable participants)

  • Short presenter bios (3-4 sentences each)

  • A headshot or profile photo for each presenter (JPEG preferred)

Workshops come in many forms: educational, personal, practical, creative, and/or community-driven. What matters most is that they move people forward and reflect the voices and lived experiences that make this community what it is.

 

The final submission deadline is Sunday, March 1. Proposals will be accepted for only one month.

If you’ve ever had an idea you wished was represented during the Annual Conference, this is your time!

Workshop Submission Form 2026

Presenter Information (if you are submitting as a panel, you must provide ALL presenter info together).

Provide a bio, written in third person and no longer than 150 words, to be included in the program.

We’d love to highlight you on social media leading up to the conference! Please share your social media handles (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) if you’re comfortable being tagged. If you prefer not to be tagged, that’s perfectly fine too.

Please upload a current photo of the main presenter. This photo will be included in the official conference program.
