Overview of NAFA Institute & Expo Program Planning and Call for Presentations Process
One year before the event, the Curriculum Committee is formed. The NAFA staff provides the overall structure for the program and supports the committees throughout the decision-making process. The Curriculum Committee is comprised of volunteers who represent all segments of the industry.

The committee tends to work from the big picture down to the details. The first step of planning consists of determining the issues believed to be most significant to attendees, then work to build those concepts into specific sessions. Sessions vary in length from 60 – 90 minutes. They generally involve single speakers or panels. Your proposal may be considered for participation in panel discussions rather than as a solo speaking opportunity.
