Tip #4 to Submit a Success Speaking Proposal: Be Timely
My last tip for submitting a winning speaking proposal is to submit your proposal on time. I’ll be honest; we look at this as a test. If you can’t submit your speaking proposal on time, it indicates to us that you probably aren’t going to meet any of the other speaker deadlines either. We have close to 200 speakers at the Conference, so it’s critical that our speakers be responsible about meeting their deadlines with minimal prompting from us. Don’t bother asking for an extension; if you can’t get your speaking proposal in on time, this probably isn’t the year for you to speak.
Speaking proposals for the 24th Annual NASPP Conference can be submitted online and will be accepted through Friday, February 26. Check out my podcast of other tips for submitting a successful proposal.

Tip #3 to Submit a Success Speaking Proposal: Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute
Things always go wrong at the worst possible moment—like when you are rushing to submit your speaking proposal at the last possible minute before heading out for your Friday evening plans. Give yourself a little extra time; submit your proposals before the last day, so that you have time to address any unexpected hiccups before the deadline.

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.

Tip #1 to Submit a Success Speaking Proposal: Many Egg and Many Baskets
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Smart submitters know that the more proposals they are on, the more likely they will get to speak at the NASPP Conference. Each company can submit up to three proposals and can be included in proposals submitted by other speakers. Don’t wait to be invited; proactively reach out to your network now to let your colleagues know that you are interested in speaking and would be happy to join them on any proposals where you have something to add. Note, however, that individual speakers can participate in no more than two panels and firms can be represented on no more than six panels; if you are included on proposals in excess of this number that we have designated for acceptance, we will ask you to step down from a panel(s).
