We encourage presentations that focus on employee ideas, innovation and involvement processes.  Presentations should be high energy, motivational and use case studies and may be given in a team presentation, or as a practical workshop or activity.  Incorporate adult learning principles, achieve learning objectives by testing audience understanding, use of a summary/ wrap-up, and allow for questions and answers throughout the session. Sessions are selected on the basis of superior quality and relevance. Presentations for concurrent sessions are 60 and 90 minutes in length.

Selection Criteria

The 2011 Conference Committee will evaluate each presentation submission on its timeliness, originality, relevance and potential to fulfill the educational goals of attendees. Attendees range from senior and mid-managers, to coordinators, administrators and evaluators from a variety of business sectors (private, public, nonprofit, etc.). Participants are interested in a wide-range of topics for improving performance through the involvement of people from all levels of organizations, of all sizes, whose impacts may also reach beyond business and into communities.
