Following the closing of the proposal period, a committee comprising students, staff, and advisors will review, rank, and select a slate of workshops for this year's conference.

Many MBLGTACC workshops will be organized into workshop tracks, curated series' of workshops centered around a common theme, topic, or experience. Tracks create opportunities for deeper engagement and help attendees align their schedules and interests. When you submit your proposal, you'll be asked if your session should be considered for inclusion in any of the tracks, but alignment with a track isn't required.
As the region’s most popular multi-use entertainment and convention complex, the Central Bank Center stands ready to meet the demands of attendees, organizers, and partners, affording attendees, presenters, exhibitors, and visitors alike the warm hospitality for which Lexington and Kentucky are so famous.
