CFP Submission Guidelines

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

PTC’s tradition is for speakers to provide industry knowledge and insights, and not use it as a platform for commercial purposes or public relations for themselves.

To improve your chances of being selected, please note the following:

Submit a short and well-crafted proposal that defines the problem(s) or issues(s) you intend to address.
Explain why your approach is significant; focus on strategic directions, rather than specific technicalities.
Include the proposed speaker’s information (i.e. name, job title, company) and a short 150-word bio and contact information.
DO NOT submit commercial or product promotions / service pitches or proposals that otherwise focus on a company. Proposals that are of commercial nature or otherwise focus on a company will NOT be accepted.

Proposal submission deadline is 20 July 2018. Late submissions have little chance of acceptance.

PR / Marketing Firm

Please be advised that the PTC conference only accepts proposals for the senior-most person from one organization. Multiple submissions from the same organization are likely to be rejected.

And Do NOT submit commercial or product promotions. Any marketing proposal submitted will not be considered.
