radio enthusiasts?


RARSfest, the largest all-indoor hamfest on the East Coast, invites all
interested persons to submit proposals for presentations to be delivered in

We'd like to encourage you to submit multiple proposals for consideration!


Your proposal(s) should include the following information:

●      Your contact information, including email and mobile number

●      A short bio (300 words or less)

●      An abstract or outline of your presentation (300 words or less)

●      How long do you need for your presentation

●      Whether your presentation includes a live demo

●      Whether you have any special requirements for equipment or otherwise

● If available, a sample of some slides from a previous/current PowerPoint
presentation you developed. This is not required, but it tells us more
about you as a presenter.

● The number of times you have made the presentation, to whom you gave the
presentation, and the dates of each occasion.

● Whether you object to us posting a copy of your presentation on the RARS
fest and Raleigh Amateur Radio Society’s websites after the hamfest.


Here's a short form to get you started!


Email your proposal(s) to rarsfest at rars.org by 5:00 PM EST on Monday,
February 16th, 2026


We will notify you by March 7, 2026, via email, if we have selected your
proposal(s).



Selected speakers will be required to submit an electronic copy in PDF form
of their final presentations no later than Saturday, March 21, 2026 (two
weeks before the hamfest). Unless you objected in your initial proposal, we
may post copies of your presentation on the RARSfest and the Raleigh
Amateur Radio Society’s websites. The presentation rooms at the hamfest
accommodate at least 30 attendees. We will provide a projector with an HDMI
input, a screen, and power. Speakers will receive two complimentary tickets
for admission to the hamfest. (Complimentary tickets are not eligible for
any prize drawings.) Speakers will be expected to bring their own laptops
with an HDMI output (or a suitable adapter to connect to our projector). A
RARSfest volunteer will be available to assist the speaker in the
presentation room.


If you have any questions, email Nancy Torborg, RARSfest Chair, at
rarsfest at rars.org.
