By submitting, speakers agree to attend their session in-person on one of our three conference days. We will work with you to find an appropriate solution should you no longer be able to travel or attend due to an emergency. NARR cannot guarantee the option to present virtually.

Longer time slots may be granted for certain sessions depending on availability and relevance. You will be contacted if NARR wishes to expand your timeslot.

Key topic areas include:

• Recovery Residence Operations.
• NARR Affiliate Operations.
• Advocacy.
• SUD & Recovery Research.
• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in recovery spaces.
• Community, Government & Organizational Partnerships that further best practices or expand access to Recovery Housing or other supports.

NARR prefers topics that engage with recovery outside of treatment settings-- however, we are always looking for exciting new practices, applications of the Social Model, and other peer-to-peer support from any level of care. 

All speaker bios, resumes or CVs must contain verifiable information regarding a speaker's lived experience or credentials-- such as degrees or licenses held, date of issue, and issuing institution. NARR understands lived experience may be hard to verify; we suggest noting the work done related to the experience, such as advocacy, training and education, grassroots organizing, and other efforts.

All information should include adequate citations and references. Sessions that amount to a product demo or advertisement of a specific business or service will be declined. 

This does not include examples of successful Recovery Housing models employed by a specific operator.

All speakers-- including any staff, board members, or volunteers of NARR or its state affiliates-- must clearly distinguish their opinions from NARR's public policy on a topic. When referencing the official opinion of NARR, materials properly cite the most recent and relevant NARR publications or documents.
