The first step to hosting a successful student conference is writing a strong proposal. A strong proposal indicates to judges that your team has already placed a high degree of thought into your conference's vision and operation. Previous Student Conference Chairs and proposal judges will share their experiences about what makes a successful student conference proposal and answer questions from the audience. Student sections at any stage in the proposal process, from just starting to think about hosting to repeat submitters, are strongly encouraged to attend. The discussion will largely be driven by audience interest and questions, so please ask us anything!
