The 2024 UNA Annual Conference: Embrace + Embolden, will be an in person event at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center in West Valley City, UT with the possibility of pre-conference virtual content.

Our Annual Conference Committee will select breakout session proposals that:

are practical and skills-based
cover subject matter at an intermediate or advanced level
address new ways of solving problems
have clear learning objectives that are easily implementable
have specific and identifiable operational takeaways for participants
provide solutions along functional areas (for example, fundraising) that would also work for smaller nonprofits

Changes/Additions: If your session is selected, breakout session slots are nontransferable. We are unable to make changes or additions to speakers/presentations after selection.

UNA Sessions are Noncommercial: Presenters should refrain from using brand names and endorsing specific products. Under no circumstances should a conference breakout session be used as a place for promoting a speaker’s product, service, or monetary self-interest.

Free Registration: Selected presenters are invited to join us (for free) at the conference. UNA is unable to provide honoraria or reimburse presenters for travel costs or other expenses incurred in the development of presentations.
