Help Shape the Educational Program for the EMDRIA Conference

Do you want to play a role in shaping the educational experience of the next EMDRIA Conference? We invite qualified EMDR professionals to apply to serve as Proposal Reviewers for the EMDRIA Conference.

Proposal Reviewers are volunteers who provide thoughtful, structured feedback on session proposals and help ensure a high-quality, balanced, and inclusive conference program.

Why Volunteer as a Proposal Reviewer?

Serving as a Proposal Reviewer is a meaningful professional service opportunity with several benefits, including:

  • Supporting conference programming in your areas of interest
  • Strengthening your professional CV with peer-review experience
  • Networking with fellow reviewers and leaders in the EMDR field
  • Recognition as a Proposal Reviewer during the EMDRIA Conference

What Does a Proposal Reviewer Do?

Proposal Reviewers play a vital role in supporting EMDRIA and the conference by:

  • Evaluating submitted session proposals using established review criteria
  • Supporting the overall quality, relevance, and integrity of conference programming
  • Helping elevate diverse topics, perspectives, and presenters within the EMDR community

Reviewers do not present sessions or select their own proposals; instead, they serve as trusted stewards of the peer-review process.
