Calls For Papers and Conference Submissions
The Afro-Caribbean Thrive Conference recognizes the importance of research, knowledge sharing, innovation, and evidence-informed solutions in advancing the social, economic, educational, health, and community well-being of African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) communities.
The Research & Knowledge Exchange stream provides a platform for researchers, students, community organizations, practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to share research findings, promising practices, community-based initiatives, and innovative approaches that contribute to Afro-Caribbean prosperity. Through research presentations, poster sessions, and knowledge-sharing opportunities, participants will have the opportunity to engage with emerging ideas, learn from evidence and lived experience, and explore solutions that support thriving communities.
Selected abstracts, posters, and presentations will be featured within the ACB Research & Knowledge Hub following the conference to support ongoing learning, collaboration, and knowledge mobilization.
