NASPP To Do List
Submit a Speaking Proposal for the 24th Annual NASPP Conference
The NASPP is now accepting speaking proposals for the 24th Annual NASPP Conference. Proposals can be submitted online and will be accepted through Friday, February 26.
Tip #2 to Submit a Success Speaking Proposal: Many Egg and Many Baskets
Don’t underestimate your competition. We get around 150 proposals for about 40 sessions—the odds are against you. They are especially against you if you leave it to the last minute and submit a half-completed idea. The submitters of winning proposals have already started thinking about speaking topics, are asking their colleagues to help refine their ideas and join their panel, and are looking for clients to serve as case studies. Make sure you submit a well thought out proposal that succinctly but clearly describes (and sells) your idea, that includes a well-rounded panel of speakers, and that stands out from the competition. Look for topics that are unique—that haven’t been presented before or that provide a new perspective.
