Describe your session in no more than 500 characters, concisely and accurately high-
lighting the main focus of your presentation in a compelling manner. Keep in mind,
the more specific and focused your idea is, the better. Depth is more important than
breadth. You will be asked to provide three specific objectives for your session.
Create a video, slide deck or other visual aid to support your submission and show-
case what you hope to accomplish with your session.
Appoint a primary contact, known as the organizer, for your session to facilitate cor-
respondence throughout the PanelPicker process and beyond. The session organizer
can also be a proposed speaker, but is not assumed to be participating as a speaker
unless included in the speaker section. Provide their name, organization and contact
information. All organizer information submitted is kept confidential.

HELPFUL TIPS
The audience at SXSWedu is well-versed in
the current education landscape. Your session
description does not need to reference broad
statements about the state of education.
Speakers will already be listed separately along
with the session, so please do not include them
in the session description as well.
We are unable to accommodate special format-
ting in our session listings. Please use paragraph
form for your description (no bullets).
Be sure to spell out the first mention of any
acronyms you include.
Advertorial or brand-centered descriptions are
not well-received.
