Building Your Ideas
By presenting at the NH Liberty Forum 2025, you will have multiple opportunities to discuss solution possibilities for emerging, liberty-for-real societies:
1. Consultation
Before you write it up, submit a short description of your idea. Our conference advisors will help you position your idea for maximum input and exposure at the conference, and will schedule your presentation. They will also review your paper when you are ready. Our goal is to help you get the most from your conference.
Conference advisors may include Jason Sorens, Micheal Rectenwald, Matthew Barney, Drew Cline, Eric Brakey, and Dennis Pratt.
Please submit your rough idea here: <Presentation Submission Form>
2. Paper
Your paper will be published in our conference book: “Emerging Liberty-For-Real Societies Vol 1”
Papers should be between 5 and 15 pages (5,000 to 15,000 words).
Think of your paper as the longer, written form of your talk.
Conference advisors will review the paper for publication and make suggestions.
You may edit your paper after submission.
All papers to be published must be finalized by March.
3) Publication
A book containing your conference paper will be published under the title:
Emerging Liberty-For-Real Societies
Obstacles and Solutions, Volume 1
New Hampshire Liberty Forum 2025
Concord, New Hampshire
This book will be available not just to conference attendees but to anyone interested in emerging, liberty-for-real societies. Papers in future volumes may well be inspired by, and reference, your paper.
4. Talk
The total time for your talk will be 50 minutes. You have the option of a computer slide deck (e.g., “Powerpoint”).
Your talk might follow this archetype:
- Start on time (at the hour)
- 5 minute warm-up as attendees shuffle in:
Suggestion: describe past successes of the liberty society leading up to your obstacle - 7 minute description of the obstacle and its repercussions
- 7 minute overview of alternative solutions
- 15 minute detail of your proposed solution and why you believe it preferable.
- 10 minute Q&A
- End on time (10 minutes before the next hour)
5. Roundtable Discussions
You will have the option of two Round Table discussions lasting 40 minutes each. (VIP ticket holders will have first dibs on joining your Round Table, and then Regular ticket holders.)
The first will be immediately after your talk. This would be the best time to get explicit feedback on your talk and on your and other solutions, contact information, and any additional information about your idea and about the liberty-for-real society.
The second roundtable will be on the opposite day (if your talk is on Friday, your roundtable will be on Saturday, and vice versa). This is a good way to connect with those who could not attend your talk. (Some attendees, while perhaps having missed your talk, will have read your paper in the conference book.
These attendees will have self-selected as particularly interested in your liberty-for-real society, its problem, and the alternative solutions. You may want to provide a quick overview of your talk. If you represent a particular liberty-for-real society effort, this is an excellent opportunity to give them brochures and information about it. Attendees will likely want to offer their opinions. Brainstorm ideas. You may have your own feedback forms. (Liberty Forum feedback forms will be available for attendees to leave you their names and contact information, as well as areas they think they may want further, after-conference discussion.)
6. Dining Conversations
Besides Friday and Saturday lunches at the conference, there will be three sign-up dining opportunities: Friday night dinner, Saturday Keynote, and Sunday morning breakfast
If you would like to host a table Friday night dinner or Sunday morning breakfast, we will schedule you at a near-by restaurant where interested attendees will sign up to meet and dine with you. You may also sign up to “host” part of a table during keynote so that interested attendees can chat with you.
7. Informal Discussions
In addition to the formal discussions, there will be plenty of opportunities for additional discussions and meetups – at lunches, at exhibitor tables, at breakfasts, and after-hours: at The Bistro after-hours, on the patio, and at the VIP lounge.
8. After-Conference Discussions:
The goal of this conference is for your presentation to spark new interest in your liberty-for-real society and/or in the problem area you are investigating. You will leave with new ideas and with contact information of those who are most interested.
