PROPOSAL SUBMISSION FORM

i2i is planning a live in person event for our Spring Conference, June 10-11 in Raleigh.  We will also utilize the Whova platform to expand learning, networking, and information sharing. 

Presentations

While we are planning an in person only event, upon request, i2i may ask you to virtually pre-record your session to increase access to certain content.  Presenting in person and virtually will greatly expand your session’s reach and audience.  In addition, some submissions may be chosen ONLY for a virtual presentation.
