What Types of Presentations Are We Looking For?
We’re looking for great presentations from outstanding speakers on topics that address the needs of our audience and that align nicely with the theme of the conference. Specifically, we’re looking for sessions that educate and inspire attendees, providing them with useful knowledge they can use when they return to the office.
- Presentations should focus on teaching something very granular (e.g. How to Start a Wiki, Understanding Website Localization, Best Practices for Developing and Maintaining Online Communities, Writing Content for the Web). These sessions should aim to provide some audience interaction
- Case Studies should focus on how an organization solved a particular problem and should be presented by individuals that work for the organization, not for software vendors; they should also provide guidance (good practices, lessons learned, strategies for success) to those attendees who may be interested in exploring a similar solution in the future
- Workshops should explore subjects in more detail (Creating Video Simulations, Building a Corporate Blog, Podcasting 101, Developing a Taxonomy) and involve various types of audience interaction (sharing stories, working in teams, creating a deliverable)
What we’re NOT looking for
We’re not looking for product pitches disguised as presentations, nor are we looking for PowerPoint preachers who read their slides. We don’t mind if a presentation has a marketing component to it, but we do not want this to be the focus of any presentation, case study, or workshop.
