Speaker Support

The New England Federation of Humane Societies is a nonprofit organization committed to its mission of supporting the advancement of animal welfare throughout the region by providing learning and networking opportunities to individuals engaged in the field.

In order to address barriers for speakers, we can provide complimentary conference registration for the entire 3-day conference and one hotel night either the night before or the night of the presentation if financial assistance is needed. If you are selected to speak and request financial assistance, you will receive a registration code to waive the conference registration and the NEFHS will book your hotel room.

As budget allows, we will review requests for additional support of up to one additional hotel night (two total) for those traveling from a longer distance and a travel stipend of up to $250. We kindly ask speakers whose employers are able to cover their registration, lodging and travel costs to do so in order to ensure support for other speakers.

Roundtable Hosts

The NEFHS hosts roundtables at the conference where attendees can have a deeper conversation about a topic of interest. Roundtables are not presentations but do require the help of a host to guide the conversation. We encourage speakers to submit a roundtable topic for consideration in addition to your proposal for a session. Please indicate below your interest in hosting.

Note: the roundtables may be scheduled on a different day from your presentation.

Hosting a roundtable discussion: *

I am unable to host a roundtable discussion.

Yes, I will host a roundtable discussion.

Roundtable Topic(s) *

Please list the topic(s) you would like to host. This does not need to be the same as your presentation.

Please indicate which speaker(s) would like to host. *

Speaker Commitment

If chosen as a presenter, I agree to: *

Confirm participation within one week of notification.

Abide by all dates set forth by the NEFHS, including registration for the conference, and details for hotel reservations.

Notify the NEFHS as soon as possible if my plans have changed.

Thank you for your proposal for the 2025 New England Federation of Humane Societies Annual Conference! Speakers will be contacted by the end of October with the status of their submission.
