RP Conference 2026 Proposal Form

The final day to submit a proposal form is Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at 11:59 pm.

Notifications about proposal acceptance status will be sent in mid-January 2026.

• You may submit multiple proposals. Please complete one form for each proposal you would like to submit for consideration.
• If you wish to save and come back to your proposal later, click "Save and Continue Later." On the next screen, click "Skip Signing In." Enter your email address, and you will receive an email with a link to access your saved proposal.
• If you intend to complete a question later, but it requires an answer to allow you to proceed, please write "draft" in the answer field in the interim.
• If you would like to start a new proposal, you can do so at any time using the original link.
• The proposal form includes fields for the primary presenter. To add additional presenters, select "Yes" under the "Add an additional presenter?" button at the bottom of the "Presenter Contact Information" section.
• Once you submit your proposal, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your proposal.
• If you have any questions about the proposal form or submission process, please do not hesitate to contact Lila Tavelli at professionaldevelopment@rpgroup.org.
• If you have any questions about how to structure your proposal and best respond to the prompts included in the proposal form, please do not hesitate to contact Brad Trimble at professionaldevelopment@rpgroup.org.
• A note about student co-presenters: We value student participation and welcome student co-presenters at the RP Conference. Up to two student presenters per session will receive complimentary registration and are eligible to receive a scholarship for travel and hotel costs. The call for scholarship applications will open after proposal notifications go out.
• A note for vendors: Only proposals that include college co-presenters and show how a college is using your product to advance student equity and success will be considered. This is not an opportunity for a sales pitch.

All sessions will be 60 minutes long and should include time for attendee engagement, such as discussion, hands-on activities, and/or Q&A that help participants consider ways to apply what they learn to their own colleges and practices. 

Questions 4 and 5 will not be used to score your proposal; they will be used solely to help the conference committee organize accepted proposals.

If you have more than 6 total presenters, please email professionaldevelopment@rpgroup.org with the contact information for your remaining presenter(s).

By submitting this proposal, I acknowledge that presenters retain the rights to all of their materials, except that The RP Group reserves the right to:

• Publish the presentation/session description in its publications (e.g., newsletter, website, listserv, conference app, etc.)
• Publish my name, title, institution, and contact information in the conference app to assist participants who may wish to contact me regarding my presentation
• Audio/video record the presentation
