About Our ConferenceTFN’s annual conferences offer attendees
in-depth information, practical experience
to enhance their skills, as well as an opportunity to share their learning in a particular area of interest.
Each proposal will be reviewed by
our planning committee to ensure a compelling and thought-provoking experience
for conference attendees. On the submission form, you will be asked to indicate
if you are interested in serving as a session designer if the proposal is
selected, or if you are just suggesting a topic for consideration (either
approach is welcome!).
TFN strongly encourages proposals that center issues of racial equity and power shifting.
Below are the types of sessions
and workshops we will offer at our 25th Anniversary Conference: Be
Bold Together. Workshops
and concurrent sessions
should include presentations, as well as group activities and discussion to help participants apply learning to their work.
Skill building workshops are two and a half hours, concurrent sessions are one
hour and forty-five minutes and critical conversations are one
hour and fifteen minutes.
