OCALICON is committed to providing informative, engaging, applicable, interactive, world-class sessions presented by leaders in the field and content experts from across the nation and around the world.
Sessions focus across settings of home, school, community, and workplace, and cover a variety of topics that range from policy and regulations, mental health, models of training, supports and strategies, leadership, and many more. They address needs across the lifespan – from infant/toddler though older adult, across a broad array of populations. Content is also categorized by level, ranging from introductory to advanced.
Consider adding co-presenters that provide an additional voice or perspective to your topic such as a colleague with a different role, those with lived experience, the end-user of the training, someone in a similar role but from a different state or country, or anyone who might add a different dimension or additional insight.
Review the Proposal Requirements to be sure you have considered all of the needed details. And then polish your final submission using the Tips to Make Your Proposal Stand Out.
Please do not wait until the last minute to create/update your OCALI Pass account, add your credentials, and submit your proposal! It is a two-step process. (1) Upload/approve your bio. (2) Upload/approve your CV. The online system will not let you submit a proposal until both items have been added.

OCALICONLINE 2025 is a live-on-Zoom event. If your proposal is accepted, the expectation is that you and your co-presenters would be available to present live on Zoom at your scheduled date and time during November 18-21. If there is an exceptional circumstance that prevents you from presenting live on Zoom during the conference dates, please email Jill Hudson to inquire about the possibility of recording your session in advance.
All proposals must be submitted in English and through the online system.
Late proposals will not be accepted.
If you have questions or need assistance, please email Jill Hudson.
