DEADLINE: Submit your proposal for an in-person 2.5 hour Immersive Workshop presentation or a 60-minute Breakout session presentation by September 29th to be considered.

NAGC is interested in speakers from all levels of government and sessions for all levels of professional experience. Please note we are limiting the number of submissions to three per person. Any submissions beyond three will not be considered.

The Theme for Communications School 2027 is:  

Shaping What’s Next in Government Communications: 50 Years and Beyond.

• AI & the Future of Public Information (content creation, deepfakes, misinformation, maintain human voice)

• The Impact of Comms Role (leadership, managing up, executive presence, strategic partnerships)

• Analytics (how to build and understand data, and why it matters)

• Internal Communications (organizational change, culture)

Proposals that closely align with the theme will be given additional consideration.

In response to attendee feedback, we’re expanding from a two‑day program to a full three‑day conference—now with immersive workshops built directly into the standard registration. What was once a separate pre‑conference add‑on is now included, giving all participants greater access to hands‑on learning and practical skill‑building.

To help support this enhanced experience and rising production costs, accepted speakers will receive a significantly discounted registration rate of $750. This special rate offers meaningful savings compared to the full attendee fee and ensures speakers can enjoy the complete conference—from workshops to keynotes to networking—while effectively receiving their presentation day at no cost.

We look forward to hearing from you!  Questions?  Email us at info@nagc.com
