One prominent point from your surveys was the need for more specialized content. We heard your request and are turning over 3/5ths of the content selection to you, the attendees. Our plan is to allow anyone to fill out and submit a Request For Proposal form and submit it. The TFU board will review them and if you are selected we are going to have you be a mini-track leader at SLCC 2008! Mini tracks will be 3:30 minute 1/2 day sessions, and we have 12 mini tracks to fill to compliment our 2 full tracks of Education and Business. We are looking for a wide variety of content that we feel will appeal to convention body, and thanks to numerous conversations with 2007 participants and the survey results we have heard what you are interested in.
The submission form will be posted here shortly. It has a lot of information including the time line for submission, review, and selection. Part of the review process is considering the completeness of the application. We are looking for your ideas on a track, the people who you would have present, potential sponsors, and your commitment and genuine approach to the process. Yes you did see sponsorship in there, and we do have a sponsorship needs that each track leader is requested to fill. It is important that we keep our ticket prices down and still have the funds to cover our costs. We hope the community embraces this chance to really make SLCC their own.
We look forward to seeing your submissions,
All of the TFU Board
