The Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey (BIANJ) is the primary provider of information, education, advocacy, prevention strategies and support services for people with brain injury and their families in New Jersey.
BIANJ Annual Seminar:
BIANJ hosts an annual seminar for professionals representing a wide variety of disciplines. The Annual Seminar offers an educational and networking opportunity for professionals to gain knowledge of the latest research, best practices and effective strategies for working with individuals affected by brain injury. The knowledge level of the audience varies, including both new and experienced professionals.
Schedule:
The Seminar is a full day conference consisting of a keynote presentation followed by three workshop blocks with three presentations in each block. Breakfast and lunch will be served and organization exhibitors and student poster presentations will also be included.
Call for Proposals:
We invite you to submit a proposal to present a workshop at the BIANJ 43rd Annual Professional Seminar. Proposals typically focus on research, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation or public health related to working with individuals affected by brain injury. This year's theme will highlight the continuum of brain injury (pediatrics, older adults, sports concussions, brain injury severity, etc). Proposals aligned with the theme will be prioritized. Workshops should contribute to participants’ knowledge base, understanding of best practices and strategies that can be used in their work. We encourage you to consider making your workshop interactive if possible, and to share available resources.
Proposal submission deadline is Monday, November 11, 2024
