Calling all presenters!

The Western Regional Conference is happening September 25–27, and we’re looking for presenters to share their knowledge, experiences, and expertise with our community.

To be eligible, presenters must identify as Black Deaf, Black Hard of Hearing, or BlackDeaf Plus.

If that’s you or you know someone who would be a great fit, we encourage you to apply and help spread the word by sharing this with the community!

We can’t wait to learn from you in September!
