Call for Proposals

Elevate your profile and visibility
at the next PACC Congress

 

Want to propose a session? Suggest a speaker or topic? Volunteer to help out on site? Help spread the word? Or want to suggest a speaker who will share timely and practical insights?

Use the form below to submit your ideas and tell us what you have in mind.

Be sure to indicate what makes your topic stand out, who will derive greatest benefit, and why.

We appreciate the time you will invest in preparing and submitting a thoughtful proposal, and will contact selected speakers within three weeks of submission. All submissions are retained for future events.

Propose a Session or Speaker

Before you propose a speaker or a topic, please read this carefully.

Submissions will be reviewed to ensure that speakers and topics align with PACC’s standards of excellence, allowing us to consistently deliver outstanding programs that are informative, thought-provoking, and offer relevant content that provides genuine value for delegates and sponsors alike.

We actively avoid speakers whose idea of knowledge transfer is to describe product features or relate the contents of their latest annual report. Speakers must commit to maintaining an educational or professional development focus. Attendees don’t invest their time or money to attend a PACC event to hear veiled sales pitches.

Speakers must be available to present at any time during the event.

Plenary and breakout sessions are generally 90 minutes long. Workshops are 3 hours long.

If you’re proposing a panel, be sure it’s not a manel*. 

Speakers will be required to agree to participate in practice runs and meet deadlines for submitting session descriptions, audiovisual requirements, and presentation materials. Failing to meet deadlines could result in disqualification.

PACC offers fresh and timely programming at its learning events, so being approved as a speaker at a PACC event does not imply that the speaker will be invited to speak at future events.

PACC waives registration fees for speakers.

Speakers’ colleagues may register at reduced rates.

By agreeing to speak at a PACC event, speakers acknowledge that it is their responsibility to ensure they have the right to use all of the content they will provide, including text and images, and that they have embedded all necessary attributions.

Speakers give PACC the right and option to post, publish, redistribute (online and offline) soft and/or hard copies of their presentations including slides, designs, detailed papers, photos and recorded video, with attribution but no monetary or other tangible compensation.

* Manel n. All-male panel
