Call for Contribution

Please note that we have now filled all available slots for presentations and workshops. You can still send us your details and we can put you on the backlog in case we get some cancellations.

The International Animal Rights Conference 2017 is a conference organized by activists of the animal rights movement for the animal rights movement. So, of course we are looking for animal rights advocates who wish to actively contribute as content providers. If you wish to contribute by giving a presentation or a workshop, please read on.

Types of Contributions

We would like to address all aspects of the animal rights work - both theoretical and practical. For the theoretical aspects the contributions will be in the form of presentations mainly whereas the practical aspects will most likely also include various workshops.

Presentations

Presentations are set up so that first the speakers present their topics and afterwards there is time for questions from the audience. There are normal presentations where there are approximately 35-40 minutes for the presentation and 10-15 minutes for the questions and long presentations where there are approximately 50-60 minutes for the presentation and 20-30 minutes for the questions. We have also planned special project presentation slots, which are approximately 10-15 minutes for the presentation and 5-10 minutes for the questions.

Workshops

Workshops are intended to provide practical information of use in the animal rights work or about the vegan lifestyle. Workshops should provide approximately 35 minutes of information and then leave 20 minutes for questions from the audience.

Discussions

Discussions are intended to collectively gather information of use in the animal rights work. Discussions should provide an introduction of about 5-15 minutes and then leave time to work on the topic for about 65-75 minutes.

Panel Discussions

Panel discussions are intended to present different view points about a certain topic and to discuss these different viewpoints.

Requirements / Who may Contribute?

All content provided at the conference is to be given in English, so to be able to contribute you need to be fluent in English. The only exception are small workshops that address a special area focusing on work in a certain country.

Besides that we will only allow contributions from people engaged in the struggle to end animal exploitation - which means that contributors must be vegans. We will not allow any persons associated with religious sects or right-winged groups to contribute in any form.

Benefits for Contributors

Unfortunately our budget does not permit us to cover the travel, food and lodging expenses for speakers. However all speakers can participate at the conference for free and get free meals at the conference location.

Video Recordings

We will have a video team at the conference that can record all contributions. If the speakers agree to it, the contribution will be recorded and made available on YouTube after the conference.
