Call for Speaker Nominations

The 2027 Leadership Summit on Ending Homelessness will bring together leaders from across the movement to end homelessness for deep learning, strategy-building, and community connection. As we finalize the agenda, we welcome speaker nominations of leaders whose stories, strategies, or lived experiences can help us meet this moment with clarity, courage, and collaboration.

Note: This is not a call for full session proposals. The Summit planning team will curate and design session content. Nominations will help us identify prospective speakers and facilitators whose experiences align with the session goals and themes already in development.

The nomination form will close on Friday, December 12, 2025 at 11:59 P.M. ET.
