WOC organizers are looking for: 

• Un-biased well-defined programs
• Information that can be immediately implemented in the workplace
• How-to classes that stimulate and provide attendees with a new skill, technology or process
• Business management best practices
• Presenters with strong speaking experience and in-depth knowledge of proposed topic
• Product pitches and niche focused topics relevant to a small audience will NOT be accepted.

Education Advisory Committee will review the proposed topics based on the criteria listed above. Final acceptance will be based on (but not limited to) the course's ability to meet submission criteria, overall program/track specification and industry need. All approved courses will be submitted for continuing education and will therefore require syllabus handouts for attendees. If selected, speaker must be willing to provide supplemental topics/tips for Hanley Wood publication(s) or website. Please note that speakers employed by vendors must be exhibitors in the show to be considered for a presentation. Forward any questions and your 2012 Submission Form by April 8, 2011 to Bonnie King, Senior Conference Manager.

(Production Schedule: The education program will be finalized by May/June - all speakers will be notified of decisions in June - speaker agreements will be due in August and attendee handout materials need to be submitted October-November).
