Call for Presentations - ASUG Annual Conference!

[Keohan, Susan - 1140 - MITLL]

Hi everyone,

It's that time of year again. The ASUG Call for Presentations is open (at
least until December 7, maybe longer).

As usual, I will be working with other ASUG volunteers in the Business
Integration and Technology Infrastructure track to put together the best
sessions for your learning pleasure.


If you are interested in presenting at ASUG, I highly recommend that you
submit an abstract at:

 

callforpresentations.asug.com

FAQ:

Can I submit multiple abstracts?

Yes, multiple abstracts are welcome 

Will ASUG reimburse travel expenses?

ASUG does not reimburse travel expenses but if your abstract is selected you
get to attend the conference for free (conditions apply to multiple
speakers) 

What if I have no experience in public speaking?

ASUG offers webcasts for speakers and typically at the end there is an open
forum to ask questions.   

There is also a mid-point review process if you have trouble preparing your
presentation. 

How long are the sessions?

Education sessions are typically 60 minutes long with 45 minutes
presentation and 15 minutes question & answer 

Why should I present?

This is an opportunity to showcase yourself and your company and plus you
will get free registration to both ASUG Annual Conference and SAPPHIRE NOW.
You can be attendee and learn from other customer stories.   

Are multiple speakers allowed?

Yes, please note the policy from ASUG:

One (1) primary and (1) secondary presenter who are identified at the time
of abstract submission and whose abstracts are accepted will receive a
complimentary registration to the conference, provided at least one of the
speakers is an SAP customer. Secondary presenters who do not qualify for a
complimentary registration are welcome to attend the event at a discounted
presenter registration rate and will be listed in the event marketing
material. 

I have a topic but cannot find the right track - what should I do?

Feel free to e-mail speakers at asug.com or select the "I don't know which
track" option 

What type of presentation focus areas are available ?

I recommend that abstracts focus on best practices, return on investment,
cost savings, lessons learned, "war stories", case studies 

I submitted my abstract, what are the next steps?

ASUG volunteers will review the abstract - if selected, you will be notified
by ASUG Headquarters in 2013 and will be asked to participate in a mid-point
review some time in March and submit final presentation in April (dates
subject to change) 

I'm ready.  Where do I submit?
