Call for Presenters for our
2027 Conference
New Ground: Designing What’s Now Possible
May 4 & 5, 2027
in downtown Boise, ID
Proposal deadline: October 31
New conditions, technologies, and ways of working are opening doors for organizations that weren’t imaginable, let alone achievable, before. So how do we build on what we know works while creating space to experiment with what’s next? When proven practices encounter emerging ideas, we can expand the possibilities of what organizations can do—and what our practice can become.
ODF is convening great thinkers and practitioners and we are looking for passionate organization designers, trailblazers, and provocateurs who can engage our conference participants in diverse conversations and experiential learning.
In brief:
- highly interactive sessions
- Delivered in-person
Session characteristics that will grab our attention:
- Your topic ties into our theme – New Ground: Designing What’s Now Possible
- A practitioner focus, with practical takeaways (e.g. tools, methodologies, worked examples)
- Highly interactive sessions
- Case studies delivered by or with the client or end-user
- Co-learning sessions that leverage the knowledge in the audience
We are giving you the freedom to propose a session with very few boundaries and are planning the conference with in-person interaction in mind. Session leaders should design a format that best inspires, educates, and connects participants.
