Call for Presentations

ASTA is no longer accepting session proposals for the 2025 Annual Meeting events, but encourages proposal submissions for a future event.

Please let us know if you have a great idea, an interesting topic, or know of a knowledgeable or terrific speaker that will challenge and inspire our audience. All ideas are welcome and there are no fees required to submit a proposal.

As you develop your proposals, please consider the following:

• Points for creativity – fresh, new ideas are welcome! Consider outside subject matter experts whose areas of expertise have relevance for the spice industry.

• Sessions should deliver relevant content and actionable takeaways. Intermediate to advanced-level topics and case studies are highly desirable.

• Format matters—we encourage you to think beyond the traditional lecture format to deliver a learning experience that will have a lasting impact. 

• Does the topic lend itself both to virtual and in-person education? ASTA is continuing to offer virtual education throughout the year as topics of interest are presented.

• Commercially focused/vendor promotional proposals will not be accepted, but we encourage those inquiries to explore advertising and sponsorship opportunities.

Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Please note that the Program Committee may make modifications to proposed session outlines to develop the best fit for the full program.

Please submit proposals or ideas electronically to ASTA at [email protected] or by filling out the simple form below.
