Each year, SOCAP hosts this community-driven process to help shape the conversation at our flagship event. We welcome session proposals from practitioners, community leaders, and organizations — especially those from community-based and historically overlooked organizations — who are putting bold ideas into practice. If you’re excited to share an innovative solution or guide participants through tools, data, and resources in a participatory way, we encourage you to apply.
In 2026, we are prioritizing highly interactive sessions that engage participants in hands-on learning and collaborative exploration, offering frameworks and lessons attendees can immediately apply to take their impact to the next level. Explore the 2026 SOCAP Open guidelines here.
The SOCAP Open process is an important part of the SOCAP26 program, bringing forward ideas and practitioners that add depth to conversations across multiple content tracks. Speakers selected through SOCAP Open will also receive a complimentary ticket to attend the event. Learn more.
