What Makes a Good Proposal?

Presentation Title:
It should be something that will be of interest to the review team and is very clear to attendees what you’ll be covering (in no more than 100 characters). Remember, there will be multiple sessions taking place at the same time, so you’ll want your topic to be very clear. if you have presented this topic at another conference, change it up- we check the circuit and want fresh material for this conference.

Presentation Description:
Write a short paragraph (in no more than 1,000 characters) to quickly tell us what you’re going to talk about. Be creative! Don’t just explain your slide deck; be sure to share your ideas for interacting with the audience: What discussion will you lead? What will your audience be able to take home with them and show to their companies? Address the WIIFM (What’s In It For Me?) benefits. Remember, this will eventually be published on the IASIU Conference website, and it will be the public-facing view of what your talk is about. It should be compelling and clearly communicate what attendees can expect to learn from your session.

In the Key Learning Objective fields, tell us what attendees will learn and be able to do by the end of your session.

One of the most important fields is the Why Should this Session be Presented at the IASIU Conference? This is your opportunity to pitch your session and make it stand out! Let the review team know why it’s important for this proposed session to be presented. Don’t skimp on this field, you have 1,500 characters so putting something like “SIUs should know about this” or This is important to investigators” won’t cut it.

If you have more than one topic you’d like to propose, please complete the submission process again for each topic.

Topic Suggestions:

We’re looking for engaging educational and informative sessions that provide content that helps SIUs build their skills, elevate their careers, and deliver solutions for their companies.
Here are a few things to think about when selecting your topic:

• Speak on a topic you’re passionate about. The first step in getting your audience to love listening to you is for you to love what you’re saying.
• Strongly consider the takeaways and lessons your audience will gain by listening to your talk. Their time is valuable, and they have chosen to spend it with you.
• Have you gained experience in an innovative technology or a different way of doing something? You may be in a position to provide a unique prospective to your audience.
