Call for Session Ideas

Thanks for all of your ideas! We really appreciate your input. Now open for ideas for 2026.

We're building this year’s Congress program, and once again, we’re turning to the heart of our community: you.

If you’ve got a session concept, a speaker we shouldn’t miss, a bold new format, or a production that’s pushing boundaries, we want to hear from you.

Whether you’re a producer, commissioner, creative, or someone with a fresh perspective, your input helps shape the conversations we’ll be having this December in Rio. We’re especially excited about ideas that reflect the evolving landscape of science and factual storytelling — new voices, new formats, and new ways of seeing the world.

This is your chance to help us spotlight the issues, innovations, and individuals that matter most to our field. Tell us what’s caught your attention, what conversations we need to have, and what’s inspiring you right now.

Click here to submit your idea. We can't wait to hear from you.
