Need help writing your proposal?

In this webinar, ATA President Corinne McKay reviews the proposal form, discusses how to select a topic, track and level for your presentation, and examines ways to write an engaging description that will appeal to the conference organizers. Some common pitfalls and details for co-presenting a session with a colleague are included.

Attendees will learn:

  • How to decide on a presentation topic
  • How to write an engaging description
  • How to propose a pre-conference seminar
  • How to co-present a session with a colleague
  • Common pitfalls in the proposal process

Don’t forget to check out our Quick Guide to Presenting a Proposal for the ATA Conference.

Coming up with a good idea and proving to the conference organizers that you know what you are talking about are challenges that only you can tackle, but former PLD Administrator Mirna Soares published a checklist on our blog in 2016 that we think will set you up for success.
