The Hawai‘i Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (HAND) Annual Conference is the premier conference for food and nutrition professionals in Hawai‘i. The annual event provides education sessions focused on practical application and insights into emerging research and trends, exposure to new products and services, awards and recognition for members from various practice areas, and face-to-face networking to advance careers and our profession. We hope that sessions are especially relevant to the food and nutrition issues facing our communities and population.
RFP Overview
HAND is requesting proposals from speakers for our 2020 Annual Conference, who will provide high quality education sessions that are not marketing or promotion of products in content.
Session content should be based on the latest evidence- and/or science-based information with practical applications related to clinical, community, food service, education, public policy, consulting, private practice/ entrepreneurship, and other dietetic professional practice areas in Hawai‘i and the Pacific Region. The goal of our conference is to cover the broad spectrum of dietetics practice from clinical and food service management to sustainability and the environment, to demonstrate that all play a role to ensure a healthy and thriving Hawai‘i.
Our conference theme for 2020 is “For a Healthy and Thriving Hawai‘i: E kuahui like I kahana, Let everybody pitch in and work together.” We are especially interested in proposals with a focus on science- and evidence-based topics that are thought provoking, promote critical thinking, and building knowledge base for all dietetic/nutrition professionals in promoting the health of individuals, families, and communities across Hawai‘i and the Pacific. We are soliciting sessions for levels 2 and 3 as well as level 1 in contents; thereby, meeting the educational needs for all of our attendees. There are new opportunities for breakout sessions and community spotlights this year.
If you are a speaker who is able to share new research-based contents with our attendees, please consider submitting a proposal. All proposals must be submitted online, and must be received by 11:59 pm HST on Monday, November 18th.
