How to Present at a CE Conference: Writing a Proposal That Gets Accepted
For Presenters · 2026-06-16
A practical guide to submitting a continuing-education session proposal — learning objectives, abstract, and the NBCC requirements — plus how to apply to present at Nura 2027.
The short answer
To present at a CE conference, you submit a proposal with a clear title, an abstract, three to five measurable learning objectives, your instructional methods, documented expertise in the topic, and references. For NBCC-approved sessions you also confirm the content stays within the professional scope of counseling and is free of promotional material. Nura's Call for Presenters walks you through each field, and you can save your application and finish it later.
What reviewers are really looking for
Measurable objectives are the heart of a strong proposal. "Participants will understand trauma" is not measurable; "Participants will be able to identify three trauma-informed adaptations to nutrition counseling" is. Reviewers also want to see that your abstract matches your objectives, that your methods fit the content, and that your expertise in the specific topic is documented — not just your general credentials.
