Three reasons why you should present at #NCFL25

Heads up! Session proposals are due April 18 for the 2025 Families Learning Conference. Just 10 days remain to submit proposals to present at NCFL’s annual conference, to be held Nov. 2-5 in Charlotte, NC. On the fence about presenting? Here are the top three reasons to apply:

Access to a national audience to present your work. Presenting gives you a valuable platform to showcase your work, research, or promising practices to your peers from across the country. This exposure heightens visibility for your organization, establishes you as a thought leader, and allows for opportunities to receive feedback from others in the field.

“Faculty at the Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy have been presenters at NCFL conferences for over two decades. It is always a rewarding experience as we have the opportunity to share our work and learn from other practitioners and researchers who are making such important contributions to families and the field.” -- Carol Clymer, Elisabeth McLean, and Esther Prins, Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy

Opportunities to build your professional learning community. The conference schedule allows for the chance to make meaningful connections with attendees who share common interests or are doing similar work. Relationships established at the Families Learning Conference can—and do!—last well beyond the event.

“...I love spending time with practitioners during a workshop session to explore new information and to learn from them. Most importantly, I have found these new connections are lasting and lead to deeper collaborations...” --Pamela Cote, Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy

Discount on registration. Presenters save over 55% off the regular registration rate, making attendance more affordable, especially for professionals with limited funding or resources. One 3-day registration pass of $295 is allotted per session.
