Conference/Event Training Workshop Proposals

KSBA is currently accepting proposals for workshop sessions during the association's 2025 Winter Symposium (Dec. 5-6 in Louisville) and 2026 Annual Conference (Feb. 20-22 in Louisville). Workshops are 75-minutes in length with a limited number of 3-hour options. Questions may be directed to training@ksba.org. All submissions for Winter Symposium and Annual Conference must be received by Sunday, Sept. 7.

The purpose of these sessions will be for presenters to share their experiences, information, knowledge or research about successful programs in their district or topics of critical importance to board members and education leaders. We ask that presenters prepare to entertain some audience questions (time permitting). 

All KSBA conferences offer a wide variety of session topics, however the Winter Symposium often puts extra emphasis on student services/supports/research.

Selected presenters will provide services in a volunteer capacity and are responsible for providing presentation materials. KSBA reserves the right to review presentation materials ahead of the session to ensure they meet criteria.

Please refer to KSBA's Call for Session Proposals page for information on proposal deadlines for the upcoming year and refer to course topics that will be offered at each of the two conferences.

Please carefully read the guidelines and expectations for KSBA workshop proposals. Navigating away from this form page may cause you to lose your progess, so it is recommended that you review the guidelines first before proceeding to the form below.

Audiovisual accommodations: Each presenter (or presenter group) is expected to bring a laptop and the presentation with them. KSBA will provide a podium, one microphone, screen and projector package for each presenter (or presenter group) at no charge. If additional/special audio arrangements are needed for a session, presenters can contact the hotel directly to make the request and arrange payment. Audiovisual requests made on the day of the presentation will not be honored.

Please select the dates/types of sessions for which you are available to present. (Check all that apply. Please refer to the session guidelines and expectations - linked at the beginning of this document - for detailed descriptions of session types.) 

Note: KSBA is currently accepting Session Proposals for both the 2025 Winter Symposium and the 2026 Annual Conference. 

Note: Keep the following in mind when considering the type of session you may wish to present. 75-minute information sessions, in addition to their lecture portions, should be interspersed with ample time for audience questions and participation. 3-hour sessions, due to their extended length, should also ideally include interactive and skill-building elements. A limited number of 3-hour sessions will be offered during each conference.

By checking the box below, you understand and agree to the guidelines/expectations (linked at the beginning of this form) for KSBA workshop proposals. This field is required to submit form.
