Over the past 20+ years, SEEP member organizations have contributed to the development of the SEEP Network Annual Conference agenda, creating a highly unique and valuable learning experience for fellow development practitioners. The Conference theme and technical tracks are inspired by SEEP member priorities, and are based on feedback from prior Annual Conference evaluations and input from multiple stakeholders. The SEEP Annual Conference is designed with and by our members to build on the existing base of knowledge in the sector. We collectively learn from successful innovations and failures, and provide opportunities to replicate, adapt and scale evidence-based strategies and effective practices.
SEEP member organizations are invited to chair and organize a Peer Learning Session. SEEP members are encouraged to provide thought leadership on critical issues and learning questions within the four technical tracks and the conference theme, Collaboration for Impact. This process involves submitting proposals for one or more sessions, then organizing the session content and speakers, if selected.
Peer Learning Sessions will speak to the Conference theme, Collaboration for Impact, under one of the below technical tracks. Session proposals should be designed to address a selection of the key learning questions and illustrative session topics provided with the technical track descriptions.
Only SEEP Network members in good standing may submit a session proposal. If you are interested in joining our global network of more than 100 diverse organizations, we encourage you to apply for membership. If you are unsure as to the status of your membership, please inquire at membership@seepnetwork.org.
We encourage innovative session structures and methodologies that build on emerging and accepted best practices in adult learning and collaboration. We need and want your creativity to construct a dynamic and stimulating Annual Conference. When submitting your session proposal, it is important to bare in mind a few important items.
The Annual Conference Advisory Committee will evaluate all submissions using the following criteria:
Please see a list below of the five alternative session formats for your consideration to promote optimal learning and engagement for your proposed session. You will be prompted to indicate which format will be utilized in the online proposal submission form.
