Why Submit?
Review Criteria
Forth will use the following criteria as a means for evaluating proposals. Please note the majority of our audience has knowledge of electric mobility and does not need introductory information.
Areas of Interest
The conference program will be divided into four programming tracks: vehicles, charging, impact and cutting-edge. When submitting an abstract, please choose the appropriate track that you feel your submission aligns under.
Session Types
The Roadmap Conference is known for its engaging, interactive approach and its rich content. We are interested in a range of session types, including:
Note: Forth strongly prefers individual proposals over panel submissions.
Program Policies, Guidelines and Expectations
Forth requests that all proposals focus on educational outcomes, including sharing best practices, addressing lessons learned and proposing actionable steps.
Presentations should not be a platform for business promotion. If a presentation relates to a specific business, product, technology, or project, the emphasis should be on the underlying research or innovation, with the objective of providing insight that attendees can apply to their own work.
Research findings should reflect data collected within the last 18 months and contribute to on-the-ground solutions.
Forth seeks diverse representation from different geographic regions and disciplines, as well as race and gender diversity, to ensure the program reflects the diversity of the field. We structure our panels with speakers who represent different sectors and perspectives to foster engaging discussions.
To ensure the diversity of speakers and perspectives, with few exceptions, we will not invite presenters to speak more than once nor will we invite more than two individuals from the same organization to join the program. We will prioritize speakers who have spoken fewer than three consecutive years on the Roadmap Conference program.
If the topic/content is specific to a geographic region, then presentations should highlight how it can be applied to other regions as well.
Selected speakers will be offered a deeply discounted full conference registration rate of $99 and are encouraged to attend the full conference. A limited number of travel stipends for speakers representing community-based organizations will be available on a first-come-first serve basis, and Forth also offers the Mobility for All scholarship for conference attendees, which speakers may apply for.
