Proposal Submission Form

From October 15-18, 2015, in Charleston, South Carolina, ProLiteracy’s Conference on Adult Literacy will bring together a dynamic group of individuals and organizations that are committed to responding to the literacy and education needs of the nation and the world.

All the while, we're keeping costs more affordable than ever in a beautiful, historic location with much to see and do.

The ProLiteracy Conference planning team is looking for presentations that share proven successful strategies and practical tools for adult literacy instruction, program management and leadership, and advocacy.
All proposals must be submitted by December 19, 2014. Proposal selection will begin thereafter.
