SELECTION
CRITERIA

NTICC will make every attempt NOT to combine proposals submitted on similar topics from different proposals. While we want as many qualified individuals and companies represented on the conference program, we want to avoid diluting what might otherwise be an important session. Whenever possible, NTICC will select the best proposal submitted rather than combining proposals. However, when two proposals are compatible and combining them results in a higher quality session, NTICC reserves the right to ask individuals to work together in developing a single session. Proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

​

  • Tribal inclusion and representation is highly recommended

  • Proposals that address topics listed in "Session Topic Ideas/Issues of High Priority" are recommended

SELECTION CRITERIA

ADDITIONAL SELECTION
CRITERIA

  • Tribal programs will be given priority, however non-Tribal programs may submit proposals as well

  • The topic is of interest to a sizeable number of the conference attendees

  • The written proposal captures the most critical issues related to the topic to be presented or discussed

  • If appropriate, the proposal identifies additional qualified individuals (including Federal personnel, consultants, professionals and others) who will be included among the presenters. It is highly encouraged that your panelists, whenever possible, represent diversity in terms of gender, age, ethnicity and race.

GENERAL INFORMATION
YOU SHOULD KNOW

  • NTICC is the largest annual gathering of Tribal transportation professionals in the industry. Attendees include multiple levels of Tribal transportation professionals, from entry-level employees to Tribal Transportation directors and Tribal leaders, and other professionals responsible for Tribal transportation development. 

  • NTICC anticipates that we will receive more proposals than presentations slots available. Please avoid submitting proposals that have too narrow an audience; proposals that have a substantially wider appeal will be given priority. In addition, please keep in mind, NTICC is committed to gender and ethnic diversity representation among session presenters. And most important: do not submit proposals that appear to be selling a product or supplying a service.

  • PDF copies of presentations and/or handouts from sessions will be posted on the NTICC website following the conference. Handouts will not be posted without your express permission. 

  • A well-attended session generally has 40 to 60 attendees. 

  • NTICC Presenters are able to register at reduced fee of $300. However, if a presenter will not otherwise attend NTICC, the registration fee may be waived.

  • The 2023 NTICC will be presented IN PERSON. As such, attendees must be able to attend and present in person.
