Please examine the conference program and specify which panel(s) you are applying for. We generally cannot except proposals without reference to specific panels.
Please note that most proposed stand-alone/solo sessions may be channeled into a panel format in order to give exposure and analysis of a wider variety of speakers and approaches. In fact, your overall chances of acceptance are greater if you are willing to participate on a panel.
If you see that a particular panel does not have a moderator listed, and you are interested in moderating, please feel free to propose being a moderator. Moderators will have some responsibility for speaker recruitment, augmented by other inbound proposals and the Conference Chair.
Please provide your relevant background and a brief summary of the point of view or aspect of the panel subject matter that you intend to present. This will help us determine your potential fit to the panel you are proposing.
If you represent a technology vendor, please demonstrate that you will not be giving a sales pitch. These are strictly forbidden.
Priority consideration is given to end-users/practitioners offering hands-on/project-based knowledge, customer facing implementation experience, unique and innovative perspectives, and broad industry learning. Precedence is also given to those speakers who demonstrate substantive, unfettered, no-holds-barred, real-world answers to specific, real-world questions (try to share the mistakes along with the successes!).
If you represent a PR firm or speakers' bureau, please note that we require personal confirmation from the actual speaker before we will put him/her on the program.
Decisions on all speakers are made by the Conference Chair in collaboration with the moderator of the panel in question.
