The submissions collected from this Call for Proposals will be considered for breakout sessions. We do not accept proposals for keynote speakers via the Call for Proposals.
Breakout sessions take place on March 6 and March 7, 2025 and are 60 minutes long.
Presenters should plan to be available on any day for which WSCA assigns your session, however, we understand busy schedules do not always permit this. If you are selected and need to specify which day you present, you must request this no later than December 31, 2024 by emailing erin@waschoolcounselor.org or by replying to the notification email. There are no schedule changes after December 31, 2024.
Proposal submission does not guarantee participation in the WSCA Annual Conference.
Under no circumstances may a breakout session be used as a place for direct promotion of products or services for sale. Sales pitches disguised as presentations will not be considered.
Should you wish to sell products or services, you must purchase exhibit space and confine promotions and sales to the exhibit area. Visit https://www.wscaconference.org/sponsor for details.
All presenters must pay conference registration fees. Selected presenters will be entitled to the reduced registration rate.
Only two presenters may appear on any proposal - one lead presenter and one co-presenter.
The reduced registration rate is limited to the two (2) presenters listed on the proposal.
WSCA does not pay ANY honoraria, speaker fees, or travel expenses to breakout session speakers. We hope the intangible benefits of being a part of our educational programming make the effort worthwhile for presenters.
Persons presenting at the conference are expected to use material and language that does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, ethnicity, religion, physical ability, and/or sexual orientation.
