2022 Conference Speaker Information

Welcome and thank you for agreeing to teach and share your wisdom at the 20th Annual North American Kavod v’Nichum Chevrah Kadisha and Jewish Cemetery Conference, June 12-14, 2022, to be held online.

All workshop and plenary speakers are offered an honorarium to recognize the effort it takes to do this. We appreciate your time and dedication, and look forward to learning from and with you at the conference.  If you would like to promote your books or artwork in the Kavod v’Nichum bookstore, please fill out this bookstore participation form.


Workshop Session Information

The speaker information for the conference is comprised of two parts:

  1. Filling out your session information: This form collects your session description, including the title, description, your bio, and a photo of you
  2. A 90-second video of you summarizing your session topic and content (more information below – we’ll help with this!)

Please complete the Session Information Form before April 29th


Session Overview Video

Once you have registered, we will be in touch to arrange a Zoom session in which we will record you speaking for 90 seconds to give an enthusiastic summary of your session. This video will then be uploaded and available for attendees to quickly see what each session is about. These are simple to do using Zoom, requiring only that you introduce yourself, give an overview of your session topic (with enthusiasm), and invite folks to join you at the conference. It’s amazing how short 90 seconds is!

Thanks for helping to make this a fabulous event.
