Presenter diversity matters
The Program Committee will prioritize sessions that have given careful thought to the presenter lineup, bringing diverse perspectives to the conversation and reflecting the diversity of our region (museum types and sizes, geography, career stages, race and ethnicity, etc.).
Don't stress about the "Title"
Sometimes it's best to start with something basic. When in doubt, simple and to-the-point titles are better. Wordy titles may create confusion and guesswork for attendees.
Be clear and concise
What will your session cover? Why is it important? As you complete your proposal, you will be asked to list the top takeaways attendees will learn from your session. Make a point to stay focused on your topic and how you plan to present it. Develop several key points about your proposed session and line them out in a logical sequence.
Offer practical solutions
The best sessions are those that offer practical, scalable solutions and strategies. Practical doesn’t always mean safe or easy, so feel free to challenge your attendees and encourage conversation or debate.
Provide tools and tips
Consider providing tools, templates, and resources for attendees to take back with them. Be sure to include in your proposal what tools and tips you plan to provide attendees.
Proposals will be accepted through February 7, 2025
