Presentation Formats
Format |
Description |
Education Session |
Education sessions may be delivered by a single speaker or a small panel. The content includes best practices, how-to’s, case studies, insightful stories, emerging trends and technologies, new perspectives, etc. |
Discussion or Panel Session |
This type of presentation is a longer education session. It can be a simple discussion from different perspectives. It could use a debate format to inform the audience about different ways to approach an asset management project, issue, or challenge. It could also use a Point-Counter-Point with the panel taking turns listing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. A moderator might start things off with a short presentation. |
Work in Progress |
Asset management is a journey, and much of what we want to discuss is really a 'work in progress'. The trick is to describe where you are coming from and where you (think/hope) that you are going in a way that engages others on a similar journey. |
Workshop |
Provide a high-quality, interactive, and practical experience to develop participants’ knowledge and skills in a specific area. The workshop format is for topics that need a deeper dive than a shorter timeframe can provide. They usually delve into a particular concept or teach a specific skill. They may include demonstrations or provide exercises so that participants may practice what they are learning, but it should not be a commercial pitch or endorsement. |
Review criteria
All submissions must be entered into the online form. You may submit proposals for multiple sessions. You will be able to save and return to your proposal form until the deadline: 21 February 2025. All submissions are reviewed and evaluated by the Program Review Committee. The evaluation process is competitive. Your success in the selection process depends on how well your proposal supports these primary criteria:
Practical application – Information can be used in day-to-day work settings, lessons learned, how-to-do-it strategies, innovative concepts and approaches, and solutions that provide improvements in asset management.
Relevance and clarity - Content is interesting and useful to a significant number of expected attendees. Learning objectives are clearly stated using active verbs that indicate how the participants will benefit from the information presented. Content must be relevant to the conference topic, 'why outcomes matter'.
Balance - The Program Review Committee will also review for balance to ensure that all tracks are adequately covered in the overall education program, that any one topic area is not overrepresented, and that any one speaker or organization is not disproportionately represented among the final selections.
No sales pitches, please!
Direct promotion of a speaker’s/company’s products, services, or monetary self-interest is not appropriate. The audience appreciates learning about technologies, services, concepts, and new approaches; but is sensitive to the sales promotion approach. For this reason, an end user or asset owner must be included and featured in any proposal submitted by vendors or consultants.
