Important Message About NCFR 2025:
Reimagining the 2025 NCFR Annual Conference
Proposal Deadlines Have Changed
Big changes are coming to the NCFR Annual Conference this year and you are a part of it!
The NCFR conference program planning committee is working diligently on a new streamlined submission system designed to make it easier to both submit and review proposals.
What’s New?
• Timeline Shift: The proposal submission period is moving from February to March as a new system is made ready for you! Members have also said they prefer a deadline later in the semester/calendar.
• Proposal System Opening: Moved to the first week of March.
• New Deadline: Proposals are now due April 1, 2025.
What to Expect:
• A simplified, cohesive Call for Proposals
• An intuitive online submission process
• Conference registration opens in May
• Proposal decisions will be announced mid-June
Note: Proposals for the TCRM and Affiliate Councils Workshop will have separate online submission processes, announced in our Call, but with their own submission portal.
★ This reimagining is inspired by NCFR’s new vision—Every Family Thriving—and our
Guiding Principles, launched in January.
