NAHA strives to provide up-to-date and cutting-edge education for our members and aromatherapy community. As a potential speaker, we love to see originality, creativity, and new, exciting topics that you have not presented before at other events. This could include (but not limited to) emerging health-related topics, new holistic methods and techniques, current research, and practical aromatherapy applications.

If a topic has been presented previously, we ask that the proposal offer significant new findings, developments, or a distinctly different perspective.

Selected speakers who are not comfortable presenting in English are welcome to present in their native language. Translation support will be available, so language doesn't have to be a barrier to sharing your work, research, and perspective with our global community.
