Present at OLC Innovate 2025

The Call for Proposals is now OPEN. We invite you to share your innovative ideas with your global network of colleagues, your community, and those who inspire and seek inspiration.

Please note, all proposals for Innovate 2025 are for onsite sessions in Nashville. There will be no virtual program associated with the conference.  

All individuals (presenters, co-presenters, and authors) submitted on a conference proposal must have a current and updated OLC account (account must include first name, last name, title, organization, and bio. (OLC uses “Additional Authors” to indicate non-presenting contributors.) When submitting the proposal, you will select your co-presenters by using their OLC user account email addresses. The system will only allow you to select individuals with an OLC account who is updated with the required fields (first name, last name, title, organization, and bio).  If you or your colleagues do not have an account, create one today by visiting OLC user account - a community membership is free. We recommend current account holders log in to verify their information before submitting a proposal.

To make the submission process quick and easy, be sure to collect all the necessary proposal information in advance using the template provided (Proposal Planning Template) so that you can easily cut and paste information into your submission form. The template will also guide you through the information you will need to obtain from your collaborators (including email addresses) prior to submitting your proposal.

You will be able to make revisions to your proposal up until the submission deadline.
