Call for Sessions Process
 
  
 
Stage 1: Call for Sessions submission window - January 22 - March 1, 2021
Please submit your session ideas during this period. Late or incomplete sessions will not be considered. All submissions must be submitted through the website; submissions received through email will not be considered. A session is considered complete if it has a Session Title, Description (350 characters or less), Takeaways, and all participating speakers are listed with name, title, company name and email address. Each speaker must be aware that they are being considered to participate in the session at EDGE 2021 in Atlanta, GA. 
 
Stage 2: Committee Review - Concludes March 24, 2021 
The EDGE Conference Committee will review and evaluate the submitted sessions and elevate the approved sessions to the Sessions Library for the track chairs to make their selections.  
 
Stage 3: Session Selection - April 9, 2021 
The track chairs will select the remaining 1-2 sessions for each of their tracks. All submitters will be notified of their submission status by the week of April 20*
 
Stage 4: All Tracks/Sessions Considered Final - June 1 
By June 1st, all tracks and sessions are considered 'final'. 'Final' means that the track chair has confirmed all necessary speakers, as well as the session titles and descriptions*. At this point, session promotion will begin.
 
*On occasion, a track chair may need to select a replacement session, so sessions not initially selected will be kept on record in the Sessions Library. The Sessions Library will also be offered to the Roundtables, who may contact the submitters for a local event.
