Thank you for your interest in presenting at the 2025 Northeast AEE Conference. We have provided information about the conference on our website. We appreciate your time and attention to this proposal. AEE workshop presenters are volunteers who are not compensated for their workshops and therefore, we are grateful that you are willing to share your knowledge with this community. Our expectations are that these workshops will be of high quality and will serve to open the door to new ideas, provide new perspectives on existing ideas or provide opportunites to explore ideas in a unique way.

To further support your proposal submission, please refer to the Workshop Proposal Guide. We encourage you to download this Template to work on your proposal as submissions in progress on this page may not be saved.
