Proposals sought for All-Staff Conference

Mueller Tower

The fourth annual University of Nebraska-Lincoln All-Staff Conference is soliciting proposals for presentations. The conference will feature presentations that engage staff in conversation and interactive experiences around professional development, encouraging cross-campus dialogue/collaboration and providing support for the University staff at every level.

The conference is May 20-21 in the Nebraska East Union.

Proposals are being accepted for presentation that align with but are not limited to one or more of the following subthemes:

  • Health/Wellness

  • Mentoring/Coaching

  • Professional Development/Skill Building, and

  • Best Practices and Operational Excellence.

Proposals are due Jan.19, with acceptance or declination announced in March 2024.

To encourage staff members to submit a conference proposal, the conference committee has organized a workshop to assist potential presenters with the processes of writing a proposal. “A Novice’s Guide to Writing a Conference Proposal” will be offered 10:30 a.m. to noon Dec. 6 in the Nebraska Union. Attendees will learn how to generate topic ideas, write learning objectives, craft a program description, explore collaborations, and receive pro tips from experienced presenters. Full details and the registration link are available on the All-Staff Conference calendar.

Proposals must be submitted online via the All-Staff Conference website by Jan. 19.

For questions about the submission process, review process or the conference in general, please contact staff.conference@unl.edu.
