CTCW 2024 Speaker Submissions | Changing Times Changing Worlds

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 “Wisdom from Without and Within”. 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.
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, or send them later. Please note that until we receive these things, your speaker submission is considered incomplete, and we are unable to announce your participation properly.
This form will also serve as your conference registration form, IF your classes are accepted. If your classes are not accepted, you will need to complete the registration form available on this page: CTCW Conference 2024 | Changing Times Changing Worlds

Featured Presenters/Headliners are invited personally by the Changing Times, Changing Worlds Programming Committee.

Note that the additional programming may be an additional class (at our discretion), panel participation, performance, or ritual offering.

Accessibility

We would love to be able to make this conference completely disability-friendly for everyone, but in reality, our budget will not cover that. However, we hope to be able to provide some accommodations, and to that end we need to have some actual information about our attendees and their needs. We can't promise we can provide everything, but having this demographic information will help us to see what's needed most and set priorities. Would you need:
