Session submissions are closed for 2025. Thank you to everyone who submitted a session idea!
Evaluation Criteria
Once the ‘Call for Speakers’ has concluded, we will take the contents of the submissions and anonymize the title and abstract submitted. This will remove identifying information such as names, company information, or Trailblazer Community awards (such as MVP, Golden Hoodie, Champion status, etc).
Then, the information will be passed on to MHD subcommittee members who will vote on each submission.
The team's evaluations are scored based on a couple of factors. The individuals on the team look at the content of the abstract and title and provide a score based on the following questions:
Selection Process
After all of the subcommittee members have had a chance to rate each session, the team comes together and chooses sessions.
All people who have submitted a presentation will be notified via email within 2-3 weeks after the submission deadline. If your session is selected you will need to accept your speaker invitation within 1 week of notification.
If you have been selected to speak and have accepted the invitation, you will need to complete a form with additional details about yourself / presentation to have added to the Mile High Dreamin’ website and event app. The speakers will need to provide a first draft of their slides to the team to review by the given date provided in the notification email. Feedback on the session will be provided and optional coaching sessions will be provided to help with filling out presentation information. Two weeks before the event, final slides will be sent in to the team for final review.
There are so many benefits you’ll receive from being a speaker at MHD!
