The U.S. Soccer Foundation thanks you for your interest in submitting a workshop proposal for the 2022 Urban Soccer Symposium. The event will consist of both in-person and virtual components.

Submitting a Presenter Proposal:

When building out a successful workshop proposal, the Foundation asks that all presenters:

Provide a workshop title, summary, and top three (3) takeaways for marketing purposes.
Indicate your availability for in-person or virtual sessions (or both).
Highlight how you will engage attendees in either the in-person or virtual space for participation and discussion.
Ensure participants walk away with an actionable to-do list or tools - presenters may provide worksheets and handouts (which will be distributed by the Foundation).
Coordinate with Foundation staff regarding any special equipment needs.
Promote your participation in the event to your social networks.

Upon submission, you will receive a confirmation email indicating that your proposal has been received; if you do not receive said email confirmation, please contact Jess Nance at jnance@ussoccerfoundation.org.
