Sessions 

There are two opportunities for session participation at the Annual Training Conference: workshops and clinics. Please refer to the session details and tips offered below prior to submitting a proposal.

Workshops

These are either half or full-day in length sessions, typically taking place on the Tuesday – but may also take place on other days of the conference. These sessions can either be free for conference attendees or cost to attend.

Clinics

These are sessions that range from 45 minutes to 180 minutes in length. Typically, 6 - 8 clinics are offered on the Wednesday and Thursday. Clinics are free for conference attendees.

Proposal Guidelines

The proposal submission process is comprised of the following steps:

• Call for proposals: First week of November
• Proposals received until First week of December
• Conference Committee deliberates: December
• Proponents are informed of results by end of January
• Successful applicants must confirm their session description and list of presenters in January, for inclusion in the conference agenda
• Presenters must agree to submit all PowerPoint and multimedia files for their presentation to upload to our website

Writing your Session Description

Please write a clinic or workshop description and session title that conference attendees would read in the conference agenda when determining which workshops and clinic to attend. The clinic descriptions should be approximately 125 words in length, while the workshops can be greater in length.

Decision

Decisions will be carefully weighed against all final proposals to determine which contribute the most to delegate knowledge and contain subject matter currently relevant to the bylaw profession, senior leadership (i.e. managing people, supervisors responsibilities under WorkSafe legislation, etc.) and personal development. Proponents will be informed of the Committee's decisions by end of January.
