the high volume of submissions, we suggest you submit your proposal early to

Only corporate/client-side speakers will be considered. If you are a consultant
or a solution/technology provider (even if you are proposing a joint client

opportunities. Speakers receive FREE admission to the conference.

FEI is all about the Experience. We are looking for the following types
of sessions, in order of priority (TOP CONSIDERATION will be given to
interactive sessions).

Mini-Workshops: Collective intelligence is the
key to innovation. We are looking for expert speakers to conduct collaborative
1.5 hour activities where attendees are taken through a process to get hands
on.
'
Exploration Leaders: Speakers who are willing to
get "outside the conference walls" and take smaller groups of
attendees to local areas to explore/discuss various innovation ecosystems.

Interactive Discussions: Excellent facilitators
who can give a short presentation and then lead the group in interactive
roundtable discussions- with actionable outcomes.
'
Case Studies: We will only consider NEW case
studies that haven't already been shared at another event.
