Thank you for your interest in presenting a session at the IRMI
Emmett J Vaughan Agribusiness Conference. You'll find details about how to
submit your proposal below.
Session Proposal Requirements
To submit a proposal for a session, use the Session Proposal Form.
Session proposals should be submitted using our Session Proposal Form by
October 1, 2021 to be considered for the 2022 program.
You must complete the form in one session, so make sure you have all of the
following required information ready to enter. If you leave the platform and
come back later, you will have to start over.
- Descriptive Summary
-
In 75 words or less, state the purpose of the session and summarize what
attendees will take away from the session. The summary paragraph will be
used to help us market the session.
- Session Outline
-
A separate document for upload that shows in outline format the proposed
content of the session is required. Please provide enough detail to allow
us to understand the scope and content of the presentation. If the session
is selected, we may ask you to add additional details to the outline to
meet state requirements for continuing education approval.
- Learning Objectives
-
Provide three learning objectives that summarize what attendees will be
able to do with the knowledge they obtain in the session or how it will
enable them to do their jobs better.
- Format
-
Indicate the style of the presentation—that is, lecture-style presentation,
interactive panel discussion, or another format.
- Proposed Time Frame
-
Our program can accommodate a variety of presentation lengths. Please
indicate what you think is an appropriate amount of time to adequately
cover the topic.
- Target Audience

level and job type of the attendee.
Speaker Information
Provide name, title, and company of proposed speakers, a short biography (in
a separate document for upload), and contact information for the speaker
proposing the session (the primary speaker). If more than two speakers are
being proposed, we ask that you refrain from actually inviting additional
speakers until your session is approved.
