Tips for Submitting a Good Proposal

• Topic
  • Is it interesting? – Prioritized topics will be interesting to a wide range of attendees. Make it intriguing.
  • Is it timely? – If the topic is over a year old, it will most likely not be of great interest to our attendees, who have probably already received pertinent information and data.
  • Has it been covered recently? – If the topic was covered in our last show then one, it isn’t timely, and two, we try to not repeat ourselves each show.

• Presentation
  • Grammar/Punctuation – Your writing is a reflection of how you will present.  Make sure your written words are as compelling as your spoken words to put you in top running for a speaking opportunity.

• Non-commercial
  • Keep it generic – No one wants to hear a sales pitch so keep examples generic.  Don’t include your company or brand name within the session abstract or title.

• Include case studies – Everyone loves real-world examples. If you have one, be sure to include it. If you can get the company/person to co-present with you, even better.

• Submit on Time
  • Don’t miss the deadline for the call for speakers – Call for speakers is open for 3 weeks.  As soon as it closes, we start evaluating the proposals that we receive.  If you submit after the deadline, we may have already selected a proposal similar to yours leaving you out of the agenda.  The call for speakers is always announced on our event website so be sure to keep a look out.

• Submit Multiple Topics
  • Theory of Probability – We get anywhere from 80 – 300 proposals submitting depending on the show.  And anywhere from 5 – 60 sessions to fill.  By submitting for multiple topics/categories you have a greater chance of being selected.
