What are the MAP Talks
Share an Idea at IAPA 2026
MAP Talks are short presentations that give attendees an opportunity to share something meaningful with the IAPA community during the 2026 conference.
That might be a technique that improved your workflow, a lesson you learned, a perspective that shaped your approach, or a topic you are excited to talk about with your peers.
A Place to Share What Has Mattered in Your Practice and Your Professional Journey
MAP Talks are short presentations designed to bring more voices into the conference experience. They give attendees an opportunity to share something that has been meaningful, useful, motivating, or thought-provoking with their peers.
That could be a workflow that made life easier, a technique that changed the way you approach care, a lesson learned, a story that shaped your path, or a topic you simply care deeply about and want to pass along to others.
MAP Talks are meant to add variety, perspective, and personal insight to the conference by creating space for attendees to contribute to the conversation in a meaningful way.
