Share Your Expertise:

Present at the 2025 ASPECT Conference

Submission Deadline Extended to Friday, April 4, 2025, at 11:59 PM PDT. 

Why Present?

The ASPECT Conference is an opportunity to share expertise, inspire change, and support workforce development. Community-based employment services do more than connect people to jobs—they help individuals overcome barriers, develop skills, and build meaningful careers while strengthening local economies.

Addressing the Current Needs of Employment Services

Based on previous conference feedback, we are seeking sessions that address the current needs of employment services professionals. 

We are looking for sessions that:

✔ Offer valuable insights and strategies that attendees can apply in their work
✔ Are interactive and participant-focused
✔ Address current workforce challenges and opportunities
✔ Support equity, diversity, and inclusion in employment services

Sessions that include toolkits, checklists, or digital assets are highly valued by attendees!

New for 2025:

Interactive and Experiential Learning Focus 

We encourage proposals that prioritize interactive and experiential formats. Sessions should incorporate hands-on activities, group problem-solving, role-playing, or other methods that engage participants and foster practical application of learning. 

If developing interactive and experiential learning is new to you, here are some resources: 

Happy conference delegates also prefer sessions that provide tool kits, check lists, or digital assets that support what they are learning. 

Suggested Topics

  • Career development tools & training
  • Client assessment & skill-building 
  • Employer engagement
  • Indigenous training & reconciliation 
  • Leadership & strategic planning
  • Advocacy & public relations
  • Working with diverse client groups 
  • Conflict resolution & de-escalation 
  • Self-care for professionals 
  • Job development strategies 
  • Community partnerships 
  • Equity & inclusion in employment

Compensation 

Historically, ASPECT has not charged presenters conference registration fees. However, due to the rising costs of hosting in-person events, we have introduced a discounted conference registration fee for co-presenters while keeping primary presenter registration complimentary.

Presenter Registration Fees

  • Primary Presenter: Complimentary full conference registration
  • Co-Presenters (up to 3): $250 per person (discounted rate)
  • Additional Presenters (4+): Full conference registration fee applies

This change helps us continue delivering a high-quality conference experience while supporting knowledge-sharing and professional development.
