Submission guidelines

  • Be clear

    Ensure that your abstract reflects what will be included in your presentation. Attendees sign up for sessions based on the advertised content.

  • Be enthusiastic

    Present content that's both relevant and exciting. Demonstrate to the audience why the information you are sharing is valuable.

  • Be specific

    Identify your target audience and the roles that will specifically benefit from this session. Make sure your presentation stays on topic and relevant to the session.

  • Be original

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

  • Be educational

    Use your presentation to inform rather than to promote. Ensure that your proposal demonstrates an exciting opportunity for attendees to learn something new, instead of appearing like a sales pitch.

Frequently asked questions

Your presentation slot is for 15 minutes, including time for questions.

Our committee will evaluate each abstract and make selections based on topic and content. All submission participants will be notified after the selection process.

Speakers will be provided with presentation information as well as their time slot and instructions. During the conference, Esri staff will help facilitate the session with you and the other speakers.

No, product promotion is prohibited. While we understand you have products and services to sell, we would like these sessions to be inspiring, informative, and educational rather than a series of exhibit booth sales demonstrations.
