Proposal Details:

We encourage presentation submissions from public sector organizations or co-presentations that include both a vendor partner and customer. We also recommend a use-case or storytelling format.

While this format is not required, feedback from past events has shown that attendees respond well to these types of presentations. In a co-presentation, the vendor partner can explain how they helped address a specific need or challenge, while the customer can share their perspective on the value, impact, and success of the engagement.

Please note that each proposal should align with one of the following learning tracks: 

• AI & Emerging Technologies 

• Strategic Learning Leadership

• Workforce Transformation
