ATALM2027 Call for Session Proposals

Ends on

The Call for Session Proposals for ATALM2027 is now open! Join us September 28 – 30, 2027, at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, to share your knowledge and experience with colleagues from across Indian Country and beyond.

Every year, the ATALM conference brings together practitioners dedicated to safeguarding Indigenous cultural heritage, advancing tribal sovereignty, and implementing community-driven solutions. For 2027, we are seeking sessions that showcase replicable toolkits, tackle emerging ethical and technological shifts, and center Indigenous voices and self-determination.

Please submit a separate proposal for each session. 

For details on session types, focus areas, FAQs, and submission guidance, visit the ATALM Call for Proposals webpage. Examples from past conferences are available in Past Programs.

Presenter support and conference scholarships are available on a limited basis to help offset registration and lodging costs. Priority consideration is given to presenters serving Native communities and/or contributing more than one session. Support must be approved in advance and does not waive registration requirements unless explicitly stated.
