Florida Council for History Education (FLCHE) is pleased to announce a call to submit a proposal to present at our 10th Annual Conference to be held July 24 and July 25 at the Mission Resort + Club, Howie-In-The-Hills. FLCHE welcomes all submissions, but particularly presentations that reflect the theme, Innovation in History.
When developing your presentation, consider using the following descriptions provided by National History Day (2009-2010) to keep your session aligned with our conference's theme: Innovation in History.
“Innovation suggests creative new approaches to any facet of life."
“Innovation, by definition, involves some sort of change, but not all changes are innovations…What is it about the topic that is new and different, and is also the result of human ideas or actions?”
“… innovative is synonymous with new, and the context sets the stage.”
Breakout and Poster Sessions should focus on building content knowledge using this year's conference theme, and promote history education, disciplinary literacy, and the use of primary sources.
Breakout Sessions present on July 25, last 45 minutes, and should engage with attendees with visuals and informative content.
Poster Sessions present on July 25 and engage with attendees in small groups over two 20-minute blocks. Sessions should involve a poster display and optional technology.
The posters are usually a combination of text, tables, graphs, and visuals, summarizing research findings and/or resources. Some presenters choose to use a laptop on the table space to display videos, data, images, websites and resources, etc. Poster Session presenters have internet access, a 5 ft table with a black tablecloth, access to electricity (by request), and a cloth backdrop (pipe and drape) for displaying items for your session.
The Poster Session tables are set-up in one row with enough space allocated for attendees to comfortably move around and view posters, with some elbow room for interaction. This set-up is designed for presenters to display posters on vertical panels or easels, allowing attendees to move around and view multiple posters simultaneously.
To be considered as a presenter, submit your proposal by April 27, 2026. Presenters will receive notification via email by May 12, 2026.
Please note: Those selected to present at the 2026 FLCHE Conference are required to register and pay for the conference, no later than May 31.
