Welcome to the IWCE Call for Papers Submission Hub!
Please read the following instructions carefully before you submit for the event. (Skip to the login page if you’ve read these instructions before.)
We are no longer asking you to submit your proposal through email. A web-based form collects your information into a data file that makes our selection process easier and more streamlined.
PAST PRESENTERS OR SUBMITTERS:
IF YOU HAVE SUBMITTED OR SPOKEN BEFORE FOR IWCE, PLEASE PROCEED TO THE LOGIN PAGE.
If you've forgotten your password/ecode, you can retrieve it from this page.
NEW PRESENTERS OR SUBMITTERS:
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU NOW NEED TO REGISTER AND CREATE A PASSWORD TO SUBMIT.
ONCE YOU LOG IN, PLEASE READ THE NEW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY IN EACH STEP.
TIPS!
If you have spoken in the past at IWCE, you will be given an opportunity to update your information. If you are submitting on behalf of a presenter or you are submitting a panel of presenters, please login with YOUR details. There will be an opportunity to add the presenter’s/presenters’ information once you are logged in.
It is recommended that you have your proposal information (particularly the title and description information) ready in a Word document, so you can copy and paste into the submission form before you begin this process.
You are more than welcome to submit more than one proposal. Simply fill out the proposal information again with your same login information.
If you have any trouble with the new process or wish to submit your proposal via email, please email Cristina Cotto at cristina.cotto@penton.com.
Deadline for submission is August 10, 2010.
SPEAKER BENEFITS
All speakers receive a Full Conference Pass (includes admission to all IWCE conference sessions, special events, exhibit hall and one ticket to the networking reception). Speakers also receive a high level of professional visibility and national exposure in our printed attendee conference brochure, Official Show Directory and on our website, www.iwceexpo.com.
SPEAKER COMMITMENT
If your abstract is accepted and you confirm your participation, you will have committed to present this session, and all the preparation that it entails. In return, IWCE agrees to promote you, your company and your presentation to its attendees through a vast promotional campaign. Both you and IWCE have made a promise to our attendees to deliver the session as published, including the topic and the speaker.
Speakers will be required to provide an electronic copy of your presentation approximately six (6) weeks prior to the event for the Conference Proceedings. The Conference Proceedings is a password-protected web site which is provided to the attendees before the event so they may print out the presentations as handouts. Handouts are an essential component of a quality educational program and serve as future reference material.
NO SALES PITCHES!
It is imperative that your presentation is not a sales pitch for you or your company. No IWCE speaker may use a conference session for commercial sales pitches, self-promotion or unfair criticism of a competitor. If it is determined that a speaker presented a sales pitch, that company and speaker will be excluded from future events. Vendors submitting an abstract are strongly encouraged to feature case studies involving their end users.
SELECTION PROCESS
All abstracts are reviewed on the basis of applicability, originality, conference needs and speaker qualifications. Decisions and selections will begin after the deadline. Notifications will begin in October.
Deadline for submission is August 10, 2010
