Speakers are expected to include the latest trends, technology, and ideas. Their presentations should be non-commercial and not promote a particular product or company.
To submit a paper, please complete the PDF Submission Form that appears on this page and include the following:
Abstract should be approximately 100 words. It should include a title, clearly state the proposed topic, and outline the content. If your paper is accepted, this abstract will be used to describe and promote your session, so please write it with this in mind.
Biography should be an approximately 50-word summary of your professional background and any other relevant industry qualifications. If there is more than one presenter, please provide a biography for both. (Number of presenters is limited to two. Additional speakers are subject to approval.) If your paper is accepted, this biography will be used in the conference materials, so please write it with this in mind. Please submit a headshot with your biography to be used in the conference materials.
Sessions are 45 minutes long, with five minutes allowed for questions. If you feel that additional time is needed for your presentation, please indicate how long and offer strong justification. (Time allotments are subject to approval.) Company logos or other commercial content are not allowed on your graphics and slides and you will be asked to remove them if they appear.
Previously Presented Material: If this paper has been presented elsewhere, please indicate where and when. Prior presentation of the material will not eliminate it from consideration, but we are looking primarily for material that this audience has not seen before.
Your Contact Information: Please include complete contact information for all presenters. (Communication will be mainly via e-mail.)
Specify whether or not you are speaking on behalf of a company or yourself and identify the company you work for.
