Ohio Recovery Housing is seeking proposals for our 2027 Annual Conference, scheduled for April 13-14, 2027, at the Hilton Columbus/Polaris. Our theme this year is "Quality Matters."

We welcome all proposals. We are particularly interested in interactive sessions where participants will walk away with specific skills and information they can apply in their daily work.

Please complete this form by Sunday, November 29, 2026.

Agreements

I agree to allow ORH to adjust the session description and objectives for purposes of appropriate inclusion in the conference program.

I agree

I agree to grant the organizers permission to take photographs during my presentation. I also authorize the use of these photos for promotional purposes in future marketing materials, both digital and print, without additional approval and compensation.

I agree

If I have presentation materials that I would not like to be photographed, I agree to inform ORH in writing to make arrangements.

I agree

I understand that ORH provides free conference registration for presenters, but I still must register for the conference myself. If I do not register, ORH will assume I will only attend the event for my presentation and not the conference.
