Call For Speakers - Guidelines & Tips
- Keep the content focused on education only. We will not be able to consider any sessions with sales materials or speaker's company products.
- Make sure your information is accurate and complete. Incomplete session details cannot be considered.
- Only submit as many sessions as your speaker is willing to present. It is possible that multiple sessions will be accepted for any speaker.
- Be as specific as possible. Generic topics like industry trends do not have the most value.
- Topics that are always in high demand: New features, Hot Tips and Tricks, Introductory Topics, Migration Tips, Panels, Process Improvements, '50 Tips in 50 Minutes', …
- For User by User! The audience gets a lot of value by learning from other users with real-life experience. It’s what Summit is all about 🙂
There will be a "New to Summit" orientation and a meet-and-greet scheduled. It’s important to connect with other first-time attendees, so you can get the most out of this event. We will have a veteran attendee work with you to ensure that you are prepared to maximize your experience. Final details will be available within the agenda.
"CPE credits are available for Academy Sessions only. Credits are delivered through our partners at the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors.
CPE stands for Continuing Professional Education. This impacts most CPAs, CMAs and other accounting professionals. Individuals in these roles are required to attain a set number of CPE credits each year to maintain their designated professional status."
There will be educational sessions for all levels and in different durations to fit within your schedule. These will include hands-on sessions and panels. Final details will be available within the agenda.
