Registered dietitian nutritionists have so many opportunities these days to share their message – both online and in person. Whether you are looking to present at in-person conferences or virtual conferences, the options are endless. One great place to start looking for speaking opportunities is with the state dietetic associations, affiliates of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. There are 51 affiliates (50 states plus DC). Below you will find information about all of their upcoming 2024 annual meetings, when the meetings are being held, whether they are virtual or in-person, and if they are still accepting speaker proposals.
Presenting at these local and regional state dietetic associations allows for great networking opportunities with colleagues and peers, especially if your business focuses more on B2B customers, like other registered dietitian nutritionists.
