Tips for Submitting a Successful Proposal

• Remember that your audience are IT professionals who need to stay abreast of the latest trends, tools, and practices for regulatory compliance in areas ranging from corporate governance to records management to technical security. For an overview of the topics that we cover, visit our Unified Compliance Project (http://www.itcinstitute.com/ucp).
• Highlight unique or cutting-edge concepts related to technology and management issues around compliance. Regulations focused on specific vertical industries are of particular interest to our Members.
• Provide practical "how to" advice and documented best practices rather than vague theories or environmental descriptions. Integrate case studies, direct experience, graphics, and thought exercises into the paper for maximum effect.
• Avoid sales pitches disguised as papers. We will discard proposals that appear to be pitches for products, services, or branded technologies or terms.
• Deliver original material that you or colleagues have not presented at other major industry shows.
• Consider submitting more than one paper idea for consideration.
• Completely fill out the form and provide all the necessary confirmation.

Articles should focus on either best practices / mistakes to avoid in compliance efforts or present a case study of a compliance challenge successfully solved.
