WAND 2027 Annual Conference

WAND is so excited to invite you to submit a Call for Proposals for the 2027 Annual Conference! This year’s conference will take place at The Wilderness in Wisconsin Dells on April 1–2, 2027.

This year’s learning objectives are as follows:

1. Examine diverse ideas and perspectives from within and beyond nutrition and dietetics to identify approaches that may strengthen your professional practice.

2. Explore creative programs, emerging areas of practice, and new approaches to persistent and evolving challenges for their potential relevance to your work.

3. Expand your skill set and apply practical tools, techniques, and strategies to situations encountered in nutrition and dietetics.

4. Envision the adaptation of at least one conference-derived idea, skill, or strategy for use within your professional setting.

5. Build professional connections and engage in collaborative learning across practice areas and career stages.

Session Type

WAND is excited to offer different types of sessions this year! We are looking for the following sessions:

- Practice Lab: You have a skill, tool, strategy, or approach that participants can actively try, practice, or work through during the session. (~60 minutes)

- Masterclass: You have expertise in something you can demonstrate, model, or unpack so participants leave better equipped to try it themselves. (~ 60 minutes)

- The Test Kitchen: Innovation & Emerging Practice: You’re experimenting with something new: an idea, program, approach, area of practice, or other innovation that could spark new thinking for others. (~20 to 60 minutes) 

- Steal This Idea: You have a practical idea, resource, tool, activity, or strategy that works and could be readily borrowed or adapted by others.

If you aren't sure your session fits in one of these catagories don't worry! Please still submit.
