Breakout Sessions are designed as formal presentations with one or several speakers, facilitated by a moderator. The primary focus is to provide information and share knowledge on current or critical issues.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Our Committee will review each of the applications submitted. The earliest you can expect to be notified if you are selected to speak at 2024 NTICC is April 19, 2024.
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
