RISE26 Call for Proposals
Submit Your RISE26 Session Proposal(s)
Deadline to submit: November 25, 2025
RISE hosts more than 7,000 attendees each year and draws representatives from all models of treatment court; leaders, policymakers, and other key stakeholders from the legal, treatment, and social service fields; and leaders from recovery and veteran communities. Together, we connect, get inspired, and learn the latest evidence-based practices for serving justice-involved individuals impacted by substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorders and trauma.
New This Year
At All Rise, we're continually seeking to improve the RISE experience for everyone involved. This year, the proposal submission process has several new features:
- To better facilitate the submission, review, and selection process, all RISE26 session proposals must be submitted using our new conference proposal portal.
- The new portal allows users to save their progress and return to complete and submit proposals at a later date.
- To promote effective and scalable learning for all attendees, all RISE26 session proposals must be designated by audience skill/knowledge level: beginner/intermediate or advanced.
Proposal Criteria
We're seeking session proposals that fall into one of three categories. All proposals must be grounded in scientific research and evidence-based best practices:
- Treatment court specific – Proposals that provide research findings, data analysis, and best practice implementation on the various treatment court models.
- Justice innovation – Proposals that highlight innovative justice system responses to emerging challenges. Topics may include but are not limited to cross-system collaboration, law enforcement, pretrial services, probation/community supervision, reentry services, or other solutions that promote accountability and public safety.
- Treatment innovation – Proposals that highlight innovative social service and treatment responses to emerging challenges. Topics may include but are not limited to effective treatment, long-term recovery management, family-centered practices, housing, employment, vocational approaches, or other solutions that promote recovery and public health.
