Call for Sessions

What Might You Share with Peers?

​Peer learning is invaluable and we all have something to share. Perhaps it's a 10-minute tool demo about your implementation of multi-factor authentication, or perhaps it's lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe you're seeing key trends in data governance or security outsourcing or staff retention. We all have something to share.

The 2022 TAG Annual Conference is November 14 – 17, 2022 in San Antonio, Texas.  TAG2022 is THE place for thoughtful conversation and meaningful network building. Join us as we reconnect and reignite.

Future Philanthropy is this year’s focus, providing a framework for exploring ideas and tools to advance the mission of philanthropy through technology. TAG2022 will explore pragmatic ideas to meet the needs of a changing landscape among these three tracks: 
  • Data & Knowledge 
  • Technology & Security 
  • Culture & Leadership 
The call for sessions is now closed.
See the information below to learn about the proposal evaluation process.

Proposal Evaluation

Proposals will be evaluated on the following criteria: 
  • New voices, new topics: We strongly encourage workshop proposals that come from, and/or include, first-time presenters and new and diverse voices. 
  • Deep alignment with core themes: Sessions should provide participants with understanding and/or practical tools that will help them advance their work, strategy, or leadership in one of three areas: Data & Knowledge, Tech & Security, or Culture & Leadership. 
  • Trending/Innovative: We are looking for a wide range of topics that showcase new and emerging work and innovation and break-through models. We look for sessions relevant to what’s happening in philanthropy today and that anticipate future issues in the field. 
  • Relevant to different types of funders: TAG conference participants are a diverse group of grantmakers including private, family, corporate, and community foundations as well as partners and vendors who support the sector. 
  • Interactive learning format: Sessions should be highly engaging and interactive, employing innovative learning techniques and dynamic formats that could include: topic debates, participatory games, hands-on exercises, learning to use new tools, or other practices designed to draw all attendees into the discussion. All elements should be designed with thoughtful, relevant learning objectives, and crafted to meet those objectives.
