SUBMIT YOUR IDEA OR PROPOSAL:

Submission is now closed; voting will begin soon.

A few items to note about session submission:

• The Conference Committee has created potential tracks or themes for the Summit. Alternate ideas can be submitted on the form as ‘other’.

Tracks/Categories:

Resume Writing - Entrepreneurship - Technology - Social Media - Job Search - New Business Start-Up - Sales - Recruiter Relations - Outplacement - Career Counseling - Career Coaching - Industry Trends - Networking - Federal Employment / Military Transition - Branding - Interviewing & Salary Negotiation - Other

• Session leadership is not required if you simply have a subject you want to see at the Summit. Conversely, if you elect to lead a session you submit, we promise not to ask someone else to present instead of you.

NOTE: In the event that two very similar sessions are submitted for consideration, it is at the discretion of the Committee which to select.

• All sessions and session designers will be chosen by CDI’s Conference Committee.

• CDI Sessions are 75 minutes. We require some interaction within each program beyond a closing Q&A discussion. Otherwise, we invite you to create the most dynamic learning opportunity you can, your way. We want to be thrilled!

• Session speaker proposals should fill out the submission form in its entirety. Those submitting a session idea should be as complete as possible to ensure the idea for the session is clear to reviewers.

Once all proposals and ideas have been received, CDI will make them available via an online survey for you to vote on what you would like to see at the CDI Summit.
