Resilient Virginia is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals (CFP) for the 2025 Resilient Virginia Conference. We are seeking dynamic speakers, thought leaders, and practitioners who can contribute to the advancement of holistic, inclusive, and long-lasting resilience strategies across the Commonwealth.
Our Moving Virginia Forward theme will focus on innovative approaches to resilience at the state, regional, and community levels, emphasizing climate adaptation, equity, economic sustainability, and systems-based solutions. The goals of the conference are learning, networking, and collaborating.
We invite proposals for presentations, panels, workshops, and case studies that address critical issues in resilience planning and implementation. Successful proposals will align with the conference’s mission to move Virginia forward through integrated, actionable, and forward-thinking strategies.
