2025 AGB National Conference on Trusteeship | Call for Proposals

Make the Most of the AGB National Conference on Trusteeship

We hope you will play a role in the 2025 AGB National Conference on Trusteeship! It is a great opportunity to engage board members, presidents and staff leaders, to celebrate and showcase the work of your institution, and to connect with peers on issues of common interest.

We invite AGB members to submit session/plenary/workshop proposals for the 2025 National Conference on Trusteeship that are creative, interactive, relevant, and deliver actionable learning. We seek proposals for sessions in several formats. Additional weight will be given to proposed sessions that feature at least one board member (current or former) in a facilitator or co-facilitator role.

We also welcome recommendations or raised hands for a wide range of speaking roles including panelists, affinity-group facilitators, or stand-alone speakers.

The National Conference on Trusteeship will take place April 1-2, 2025 at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile in Chicago, IL.

Proposals should be submitted by Friday, August 30, 2024. We will be reviewing proposals after the deadline and confirming sessions and speaking roles on a rolling basis until the agenda is complete. If you would like to propose ideas for more than one full session, use the same survey link to submit additional forms.

See the 2024 NCT Schedule to get an idea of the range of topics addressed in the program.

By submitting a proposal, all facilitators agree to, if selected:
a) engage in good faith with AGB staff throughout the planning process and through delivery of the session; and
b) register for the conference and cover their related travel expenses.

If you have questions or would like to discuss ideas for the NCT, please email programs@agb.org.
