Have a topic you’re passionate about?

Bring it to the conversation.

Roundtables are one of the most engaging parts of the QRCA Conference—and a great opportunity to spark ideas, share experiences, and connect with fellow qualitative researchers.

We’re looking for thoughtful, curious facilitators to lead 50-minute Roundtable conversations at QRCA 2027 in Palm Springs. This is your chance to:

• Share what you know and explore a topic that matters to you and your work
• Learn from your peers through a lively, interactive discussion
• Connect with fellow QRCA members in a more intimate setting
• Bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the qualitative research community
• Help shape the conference experience by creating a conversation people will remember

Roundtables aren't presentations or lectures—they're conversations. You don't need to have all the answers. You simply need an interesting topic, a point of view, a one-page handout, and the ability to get a great discussion going.

Ready to lead the conversation? Complete the Roundtable application form by October 9.

Please note: Roundtable leaders are responsible for their conference registration–we are unable to offer conference registration discounts for Roundtable facilitators.

Bring your ideas. Ask great questions. Start the conversation.

We hope you'll join us in Palm Springs!
