The National Council on Public History requests session, working group, and workshop proposals for our 2023 annual meeting, to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, April 12-15, 2023. Final proposals are due July 15; proposers may submit an optional topic proposal by June 15 to seek feedback and co-presenters.

The conference theme is “To Be Determined.” The abbreviation TBD—meaning “to be determined”—is a device that holds space for unknown futures. It indicates that the process of knowing and planning is still actively unfolding. But “to be determined” has other meanings, too, signaling resolve, commitment, and intention. The 2023 National Council on Public History Annual Meeting, as NCPH reconvenes in person for the first time in four years, will explore and embrace these dual ways we can interpret and apply TBD.
