Step 3:
Resources
Use a creative video and/or visual aids to
serve as the digital face of your proposal.
Provide at least one resource to showcase
your programming idea.
Step 4:
Organizer
Appoint a primary contact, known as the
organizer, for your session to facilitate
correspondence throughout the PanelPicker
process and beyond, if accepted. 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.
All organizer information submitted is kept
confidential.
Step 2: Description
& Learning Objectives
Describe your session (max. 500 characters) and learning objectives (max. 150
characters). Accurately highlight the main focus of your presentation in a
compelling manner and provide three specific learning objectives for your
session that highlight audience takeaways.

Helpful Tips
● Depth is more important than breadth.
● 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.
● Please do not include speaker names in
the session description.
● 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 allowed. If you would like to promote
your brand at SXSWedu, please email
sales@sxswedu.com.
