Collective Transformation: Building Power Through Change
End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin (End Abuse) invites you to share your ideas, skills, experience and passion at its statewide conference, Collective Transformation: Building Power through Change. The conference will be held from November 27-29, 2023, at the Monona Terrace and Convention Center in Madison, WI. Our audience includes, among others, advocates and activists for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and their communities, and stakeholders who work to end and prevent violence.
With a goal of building power through change, this conference will feature more than 40 diverse workshops, three dynamic keynote speakers, and other related special events. It is our goal to create a roadmap for the direction of the domestic abuse movement in WI within a racial justice framework, while creating an opportunity for engagement of advocates, stakeholders and survivors.
Opportunities for Sharing
We seek a wide variety of presenters who can share knowledge and skills related to addressing root causes of domestic violence.
We welcome presenters with lived experience or professional experience, who wish to share in traditional and non-traditional presentation formats, including workshops, seminars, panel or facilitated discussions and interactive activities. It is our main goal to bring historically marginalized voices to the forefront of discussion. Opportunities are available for 60-minute, 90-minute or 3-hour workshops morning or afternoon.
