Thank you for submitting a workshop for consideration at the 2025 Heartbeat International Annual Conference. If you know someone who might be interested in presenting, please share this opportunity with them! Just send the following link so they can submit a form as well: https://www.heartbeatservices.org/training/conference/workshop-presenters

We are blessed each year with more submissions than workshop slots, so please understand that your submission does not guarantee selection.

Proposals will be evaluated in light of the course description, learning objectives, presenters’ credentials and expertise, past evaluations of presenters from previous Conference workshops, and the overall needs of the Conference program. Presenters selected for the Conference will be notified directly at the contact information provided. Only the person submitting the workshop information is being considered as the primary presenter, if approved. You are asked not to promote or request support for your own organization or its services but to provide valuable teaching content and information on your area(s) of expertise, including practices and takeaways that meet Heartbeat’s submission guidelines.

Our team will be reviewing all the submissions over the next several weeks and you will hear from us in November. 

We appreciate your heart for the pregnancy help movement and look forward to reviewing your workshop submission.
