Thank you for your interest in speaking at this year’s conference.
Classes and workshops are at the heart of the conference, and we are always amazed at the quality and variety of the offerings we are able to present. It is always a challenge to choose!
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
We are oriented towards intermediate and advanced classes. This doesn’t mean that beginner level classes are out of the question, just that it is not our main focus. We welcome both lecture presentations and hands-on, practical workshops. Our theme this year is “United by Magick”. We invite you to submit proposals with that theme in mind, but it is not required. If you have a great idea for a class or workshop, go ahead and submit it!
ABOUT THE CLASS ACCEPTANCE PROCESS
- The Programming Committee will review your submission, taking into consideration other proposals we receive, when (and if) a similar topic has been offered, and how much interest our attendees are likely to express.
- If you submit a ritual for our consideration, your proposal will also be forwarded to our Ritual Committee.
- You will receive an email after the Committee makes a decision. Please be patient; we promise we will let you know as soon as we can. That email will tell you which of your proposals have been accepted.
- We post information about our speakers on our website and on our social media platforms. In order to do that, we need a short bio and image from each speaker. The image could be a head-shot photo, or the cover of a book you have written. You can upload the files with this form. We use these files toto announce your participation properly.
- We ask that you fill out our registration form, available here.
During the checkout process, select the option for “Pay by check/invoice me”. You will be sent an invoice (via PayPal) after your classes are accepted
