CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS
December 1 – 3, 2025
Winnipeg, Manitoba
Get ready to make a difference! End Homelessness Winnipeg is pleased to announce a call for session proposals for our upcoming event: Ending Homelessness Together.
Join us at Canad Inns Destination Centre Polo Park in Winnipeg from December 1st-3rd, 2025, for a transformative gathering. The event will bring together staff working in the sector and people with lived experience of homelessness, as well as government, landlords, and businesses who can contribute to homelessness solutions.
This event isn’t just about discussion—it’s about action. We’re celebrating sector achievements, forging vital connections, and fostering collaborations that will redefine future services. Together, we’ll build a comprehensive approach to ending homelessness through shared knowledge and actionable solutions.
Our 2024 sold out with 300+ attendees over 2 and a half days. This year we are planning for 400 delegates, and 3 full days of programming.
The gathering’s program will be guided by the medicine wheel: looking at homelessness
symptoms and solutions through spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental lenses. We aim to offer a range of keynotes, panels, workshops, and creative sessions hosted by community leaders, decision-makers, people with lived experience of homelessness, and workers in the homelessness support sector. 75% of those experiencing homelessness identifying as Indigenous despite comprising only 14% of the city’s population. Therefore, we especially welcome proposals from Indigenous peoples, and presentations that specifically address this disparity.
Successful submissions may have a particular focus on the contextual framework of Winnipeg homelessness, or international inspiration that could be applied in Manitoba. Sessions are planned to be 90-120 minutes in length, and for 50-250 participants. However; if you would like to share your knowledge at the event and prefer a different length or format please apply and tell us more. If you would like to sit on a panel rather than host a session on your own, or submit two back-to-back sessions that complement each other, we invite your application.
