Submit Your Learning Session Proposal

MCAN's 14th annual conference will be held Nov. 4-5 at the Lansing Center in downtown Lansing. This year’s theme, Standing Firm: College Still Matters, calls for bold conversations and action around the critical importance of higher education, especially in the face of ongoing deliberate misinformation and misleading narratives.

We are now accepting proposals through June 30 to lead conference learning sessions. Conference registration opens in May, and we will announce keynote speakers and additional details in the coming months.

Proposals must be submitted by 11:59 on June 30, 2025.

Proposal Development and Support

Conference presenters can choose from two session formats: traditional workshops or lightning labs. MCAN's Request for Proposals Guide is available to help you think through your proposal, including the type of session, intended audience, and desired outcomes. Please review the proposal guide prior to submission.

We are also hosting an informational webinar on May 13, 11 a.m.-noon, to provide proposal support and to answer questions that may arise as you begin planning a session that is a great fit for the conference. A recording of the webinar will be posted to the RFP website and sent via email to all participants.
