We are excited to invite facilitators, creators, and organizations to submit proposals for Wellness and Discovery Sessions at our upcoming conference. We are seeking innovative, engaging, and equity-centered experiences that inspire reflection, build community, and elevate learning for our members.

What We're Looking For

We welcome proposals for:

• DEI-Focused Programming: Sessions that highlight intersectional approaches, emerging trends, and transformative practices in equity, diversity, and inclusion.

• Wellness Experiences: Activities that support personal and collective well-being—such as mindfulness, movement, art-based engagement, storytelling, cultural healing practices, or restorative sessions that complement the conference theme.

• Discovery Sessions: Interactive, hands-on opportunities that spark curiosity, skill-building, and meaningful conversations rooted in community and connection.

Who Can Apply

We encourage submissions from both non-profit and for-profit organizations, independent facilitators, and small businesses working in the DEI, wellness, community engagement, and social impact spaces. We are committed to showcasing diverse voices and expertise from across urban and rural communities.

Ethical & DEI-Centered Vendor Selection

Our vendor selection process is grounded in the principles of equity, transparency, and community accountability. We prioritize:

• Representation from equity-deserving groups

• Cultural safety and trauma-informed practices

• Ethical, community-centered approaches

• Inclusive design and accessibility

• Fair evaluation based on clear criteria—not on organizational size, budget, or popularity

All proposals will be reviewed through an intersectional DEI lens to ensure that selected vendors align with our values and contribute meaningfully to a welcoming, inclusive conference environment.
