TIPS TO HELP GET YOUR ABSTRACT APPROVED:

Have an end User author and presenter with real world examples
Include financial impact – Quantifiable Business Results
Use technical “how to” explanations
Explain unique solutions to difficult problems, show innovation
Indicate clearly what value your presentation will bring to this year’s attendees (i.e., “what makes this presentation unique and worthwhile to attend?”)
Do not include proprietary information, trade secrets, etc. and please pursue corporate approval early. Do not wait until June to start the legal / corporate review process.
Avoid negatively referring to other solutions, vendors, etc.
Refrain from “marketing/sales hype”
Ensure that your abstract accurately explains your proposed presentation, and vice versa. Nothing upsets attendees more than attending a session that’s not as advertised.
Ensure the session title accurately and specifically describes the presentation content.
