The 2025 North Carolina/South Carolina Planning Conference Committee is excited to announce that Session Proposals are now being accepted. This year our event will be presented as an in-person joint state conference from October 15-17 in Charlotte, North Carolina!

  Session organizers are encouraged to submit sessions that include current issues, trends, challenges, and solutions that are shaping planning today.

  Sessions proposals are reviewed based upon: quality of the session proposal; contribution to the mission of the Chapter; session goals & outcomes; session delivery method and creativity. Additional criteria may apply.

  When submitting proposals, please be reminded:

• All required information must been completed. This includes full information on ALL speakers that will be presenting during the session. 
• For session organizers and speakers, block out October 15-17 on your schedule until sessions are selected and time slots are determined. APA-NC / APA-SC cannot take requests for specific dates and times.
• All sessions will be 60 minutes in length. Complete Lightning Round Sessions may have up to 3 mini-presentations (selected from separate proposals) that are assembled into a combined session (20 minutes per topic, 1 speaker per topic). Workshops should be approximately 60 minutes in length. 
• Mobile Workshops must be at least 1 hour in length.  
• No presenter is allowed to present in more than two (2) sessions.
