Helpful Tips

  • Be clear

    What you submit is what you'll present. Nothing upsets attendees more than signing up for a session that's not as advertised.

  • Be enthusiastic

    Make sure your content is relevant, but also exciting. What invaluable information will you share during the session?

  • Be concise

    Who's the target audience? What products or topics does this session cover outside the topic? What roles specifically benefit from this session?

  • Be original

    Attendees want to see new presentations that cover the latest innovations in technology. Take the time to create well-written titles and abstracts, outlines, and select the appropriate audience and level.

  • Be educational

    Be sure your proposal doesn't sound like a sales pitch, but rather an exciting opportunity to learn something new.

  • Be specific

    Please provide any pertinent information that will help us understand your selection of a discipline. This will help us determine the appropriate topic category for your papers.

  • No product promotion allowed

    All presentations must be non-commercial. At no time is it permissible for presenters to use their time slot to advertise or promote a product, service, or company.
