Submission Guidelines

Be clear

Ensure your abstract reflects your presentation. Nothing upsets attendees more than signing up for a session that’s not as advertised.

 

Be original

Attendees want to see new presentations that cover the latest innovations in technology. Take the time to create well-written titles, abstracts, and outlines.

 

Be enthusiastic

Make sure your content is not only relevant but also exciting. What invaluable information will you share during the session?

 

Be educational

Be sure your proposal doesn’t sound like a sales pitch but rather an exciting opportunity to learn something new.

Be precise

Who’s the target audience? What products or topics does this session cover? What roles specifically will benefit from this session?

 

Helpful Tips

Focus on Esri technology

The core focus of your presentation should detail how you’ve leveraged Esri technology to overcome a challenge and realized success in your project.

 

Be specific

Provide any pertinent information that will help us understand your selection of a discipline. This will help us determine the appropriate topic category for your presentation during the selection process. 

No product promotion allowed

All papers and presentations must be noncommercial. At no time is it permissible for presenters to use their time slot to advertise or promote a product, service, or company.
