Proposal Submission Types

Topical presentation

20 – 30-minute presentation, including Q&A. Presentation should focus on new and innovative technology, designs, processes, design and project delivery approaches, tools, regulatory changes and impact. Presentation may also focus on a specific real-world strategy, case study/use case, or a “how-to" presentation intended to help attendees gain a better understanding of implementing an initiative into day-to-day manufacturing objectives.

Rapid fire session

Rapid-fire, Hot Topic Sessions are 30-minute sessions focused on a high-level overview of innovative technology, designs, processes, design and project delivery approaches, tools, regulatory changes and impact. These sessions are designed to be both cutting-edge and highly focused, requiring the presenter to share ideas and achieve learning objective(s) in 20 minutes, with the remaining 10 minutes open for interactive discussion. These sessions are intended for one speaker but if the topic warrants, can have a maximum of two (2) speakers.

Proposal Guidelines

• Speakers giving at least a 20-minute presentation (not including Q&A) receive complimentary conference registration.
