36th Annual Nonprofit Symposium Call for Speakers

Deadline: May 31, 2024

The 2024 Nonprofit Symposium is now seeking submissions of proposed sessions. We will again offer technical sessions this year in virtual format during the fall. Momentum builds until our main in person sessions on December 2-3 at the DC Convention Center.
All submissions must be received electronically and will be considered by the GWSCPA Nonprofit Symposium Planning Committee, which is led by GWSCPA members. Selected speakers will be notified by July 31st, 2024.
Please note that all information must be completed and should be as detailed as possible for an adequate review of your proposal though we understand that your presentation itself will still be an outline at this point. Please review the FAQ before you submit, which contains important information about what topics and presentation formats are most welcome at this year’s event.
Contact Kari Bedell at kbedell@gwscpa.org if you have additional questions.
