The information on this page is to help you submit your proposal for a presentation. Follow the suggested format to maximize chances of your proposal to be selected.
We suggest starting at ‘Learning outcomes’ and then fill in the rest of the fields.
Title (obligatory field)
Start with a title that is meaningful to the topic. This is your first opportunity to grab attention; it is the headline of your session. Many people attend sessions based on the title alone.
Please add the status in front of your title:
DRAFT – still working on it
FEEDBACK REQUESTED – comments to improve your submission are welcome
FINAL – you are done, the proposal is ready for review for acceptance for the conference
Abstract (obligatory field)
Information for Organizers (optional field)
This part of the submission form is used to provide details that will help the reviewers and organizers to better understand your session. These details will not be published in the online schedule, so you don’t need to be formal in your language or writing style.
Learning Outcomes (obligatory field)
You might want to start here. Get your learning outcomes clear first, and then write your abstract.
Learning outcomes are a concise list of a few clear takeaways that the attendees will gain after attending your session.
Consider using Action + Concept/Skill wording for your learning objectives. Think words like “demonstrate, show, apply, create, explain, list, describe…”. You can also try this detailed resource.
We encourage you to have learning outcomes that resonate with this year’s theme ‘Crossing the Chasm’.
Presentation History (optional field)
Tell us more about your story!
Providing a link to a video of you presenting a topic or pitching your session is highly encouraged as it would give the reviewers a sense of your style.
Please also add if you’ve given this talk before (and where) or if it’s the first time you’ll be presenting it.
