What happens if NACA receives multiple proposals for the same topic?
NACA has a rubric for assessing ed session proposals. In the event that we receive multiple proposals for the same topic, we will select the highest scoring proposal. We will also reach out to the submitter who is not selected and invite them to submit for an alternative topic in their area of expertise.
I would like to present a session, but my field of expertise is not on the NACA’s predefined list of topics. Is there any opportunity for this?
Yes! You can submit a proposal for a featured session. Featured sessions are 30 minutes long and all topics are considered.
Alternatively, you can submit an ed session via the traditional ed session proposal process. These proposals are reviewed by volunteers and selected based on a number of factors including quality of proposal and programming/subject need.
