SUBMIT YOUR SESSION IDEAS FOR ASTC 2025
|
The Call for Proposals for the ASTC 2025 Annual Conference is now open! We look forward to receiving your innovative ideas that will educate, inform, and inspire our community and contribute to the success of the conference. Submissions may address any topic relevant to science and technology centers and museums and the broader fields of informal science learning and public engagement with science. We especially encourage you to think about current circumstances, capabilities, and priorities for our field. The Call for Proposals also flags several general themes and specific topics suggested by attendees at last year’s conference that may be helpful inspiration. The conference theme of Connectivity also serves as a starting point for developing your proposal idea.
As in the past, we invite you to propose content for ASTC 2025 for several different types of sessions:
- Concurrent Sessions. 60-minute sessions featuring an array of presenters from diverse perspectives.
- Lightning Sessions. 10-minute presentations or discussions that are combined with others on related themes.
- Posters. Share your project or idea graphically and engage with attendees informally during designated Poster Palooza sessions.
- Hands-On Showcase Sessions. 15-minute slots to put activities directly in the hands of attendees in the Exhibit Hall.
- Preconference Intensive Workshops. Half-day participatory and highly interactive workshops that offer a deep dive on a specific topic that result in tangible learning outcomes, tools, and/or resources.
ASTC 2025 will be held September 5–8, 2025, in the San Francisco Bay Area and is hosted by a consortium of eight ASTC members in the region.
Proposals must be submitted via the online portal by Friday, January 17, 2025.
