What makes for a good proposal?

It’s no secret that people come to Coalesce to be inspired, engaged, and educated. Attendees want to learn from people who have solved real-world problems associated with data scale and complexity. They want to see creative approaches and new ways of thinking. And they want to walk away energized and brimming with ideas to carry what they learned forward in their business. 

Here are a few tips on delivering a great proposal:

• Be authentic. Express the ideas and concepts in your own words based on lived experience. Steer clear of jargon. 
• Give your proposal a clear and concise title. 
• Think about who’s in the audience watching this presentation. How will they get value from this presentation?
• Avoid promotional content. No product or marketing pitches, please.
• Tailor your content for a professional and knowledgeable audience.
• Clearly articulate the value attendees will gain from attending your presentation. Keep your proposal short but don’t leave out the specifics.

The talk proposal you submit should demonstrate ample forethought. The more concrete you can be, the more chance your talk will make an impression on us (and audiences at Coalesce!). Don't get hung up on needing to be a superstar—we'll work with you on delivery.

*Please note: Technology and services vendors are welcome to submit talk proposals. The most effective way to draw attention to your proposal is to have a customer submit a proposal.
