How to submit a successful proposal

What we're looking for

We are interested in sessions that address current conservation issues, showcase innovative solutions and processes in conservation work, focus on issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, share best practices, and expand our collective work in novel ways.

If your session is a presentation to sell a specific product or service please see our sponsorship packages at nwlandcamp.org/sponsor

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Commitment

We are committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, multicultural conference that is welcoming and fun for all participants. We value and want to center historically marginalized voices. 

We encourage people who identify as Black, Indigenous, or other people of color, as well as those who are gender nonconforming, disabled, LGBTQIA+, or from other historically marginalized communities to apply. We are prioritizing speakers with diverse backgrounds as panelists, and workshops with diverse perspectives.

Presenters and Registration Costs

Land Camp is a peer led conference and in an effort to keep the costs as low as possible for attendees, presenters are expected to pay Land Camp registration fees to attend Land Camp. There are two major exceptions:

  • We have a modest scholarship budget to offer travel reimbursement and registration reduction for speakers who are non land trust staff members and are members of marginalized or underrepresented communities as described above. The scholarship is addressed within the session RFP.

  • Any presenter who is attending Land Camp for their workshop only is not required to pay a registration fee
