    HI!

    We are closing our consideration for SECtember Breakout Sessions on July 27!  Be sure to have all your submissions reviewed by then, so I can grab scores of the top submissions.

    Thanks!

    I don't think I received any submissions for review. Am I missing something?

    @Michalis Kamprianis and @Miguel Arenas did you get the reminder email that I sent out yesterday via the system?  That should show how many you have to review?  Let me know if that didn't work.​​​

    Thanks Melisa,
    indeed i got the reminder yesterday and I started reviewing some. There were 42 and I'm on it (although I don't think I'll be able to go over all of them).

    Shall I change any settings to be notified of new submissions?

    Just review as many as you can from 2022, that is fine. And yes, please do change your settings. I am also going to dig into the system and see why some folx are not getting their notifications.

    I've noticed several trends lately in proposal reviews (both here and in other organizations).
    1. Proposal spamming: a contributor with few or no credentials submits multiple proposals on divergent topics...apparently hoping that one or two might find a home.  I absolutely enjoy seeing emergent talent and expertise but in my experience this type of submission leads to content-empty presentations.
    2. Professional proposal authoring: a contributor hires an agent or agency to write the proposal and fails to disclose that hire.  I'm all in favor of getting training in public speaking but this is a bit shady.  It also leaves us reviewers in the position of not being able to properly gauge the capabilities of the future speaker.
    Melissa, can you pile on here with CSA's view on these topics?

    @John M  we are always looking for proposals that are apropos with the times, especially emerging trends.  BUT, we want to be sure that the author is able to provide a quality experience for our audience.  If you feel like something is not right or fishy, then please rate the submission with that gut feeling.    I value your honest opinion and expertise, so please do not hesitate to rate something low.  The Executive team will review the top submissions and make decisions from there.

    Ugh, I am wrong, the date is the 23rd!  Please review as many as you can, focus on 2022 submissions.  Sorry for the wrong dates!

    Hello Melisa!

    All the reviews I got since last week were reviewed.

    Just let me know if you have more ones for me.
