2023 ACCP Annual Conference Speaker RFP

Speakers may submit multiple RFPs for consideration. If you choose to submit multiple RFPs, you must fill out an RFP for each individual session. Completion of an RFP does not confirm acceptance as a speaker at an ACCP event. Please be prepared to select a desired session type. Priority will be given to sessions that align with ACCP’s 2023 Content Priority areas, that bring forward-looking but actionable ideas for achieving change or improving processes, and are educational, engaging, and interactive in nature.

All speakers are responsible for their own travel & accommodations. Selected speakers will be given free one-day access to Conference on the day of their session, and a discounted rate to attend the full Conference. Registration details and pricing will be released on May 1.

ACCP is committed to showcasing a diverse range of presenters encompassing but not limited to ethnicity, race, age, gender, sexual orientation and gender identification, economic circumstance, and people with disabilities.
