Overcome Last-Minute Materials and Missing Information

Great Place to Work® Conference

The CEOs who presented at the annual Great Place to Work (GPW) conference did not intend to miss deadlines or to forget to turn in materials... they were just too busy, and GPW’s collection process was both difficult and time-consuming to use. Each year GPW's staff scrambled to collect and organize last-minute submissions, material and missing information. And their process of manually burning presentations onto disks that were hand-carried to the event? An opportunity for a last-time error waiting to happen built into the process. Their staff learned the hard way their system was a nightmare for both their submitters and them.

One System To Collect Everything

If you end up spending a lot of time going back and forth with their conference presenters to get additional information they didn’t collect upfront, you might consider this Big Idea. Save time and energy and collect all your information related to a speaker, session and publication all at once.

An online system for collecting abstracts, managing the review process and eventually collecting final materials allows for you to collect what you need at various stages. Presenters can even verify previously collected information to ensure it’s updated and correct. Since you are already asking your contributor to give you information regarding their submission, what other questions would you like answered?

Here’s a list of potential information you may want to collect:

• Learning objectives
• Keywords
• Who is the target audience
• Copyright releases
• Financial/relationship disclosures
• Audio/visual requirements
• Biographies
• A profile photo
• Session introduction
• Times available to present/speak
• Past speaking experience
• Speaking references
• Additional speaking agreements
• Registration confirmation number
• Comments
• Special requests
