We want to hear from you!

At this year’s IIBA Poland Summit, we’re bringing together trends and fundamentals, bridging the gap between what's emerging and what’s essential. We believe that true success in business analysis comes from understanding both—and sometimes, combining elements that don’t seem to fit at first glance.

At the heart of all talks and sessions, we’re placing the BACCM Model and its Core Concepts as our guiding framework:

• Change: The act of transformation in response to a need.
• Need: A problem or opportunity to be addressed.
• Solution: A specific way of satisfying one or more needs in a context.
• Stakeholder: A group or individual with a relationship to the change, the need, or the solution.
• Value: The worth, importance, or usefulness of something to a stakeholder within a context.
• Context: The circumstances that influence, are influenced by, and provide understanding of the change.

In business analysis we want to enable change in an enterprise by defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver value to our stakeholders. Business analysis enables an enterprise to articulate needs and the rationale for change, and to design and describe solutions that can deliver value.

Show us how you bring the Core Concepts to life in your talk.

At the same time we are eager to hear real life stories and case studies.

We welcome a variety of session formats to suit different styles and topics:

• Inspiring 20-minute TED-style talks – short, powerful ideas that energize and spark curiosity
• Engaging 40-minute sessions – deep dives into your topic, with opportunities to interact with the audience

• Hands-on workshops (2.5 hours) – interactive learning experiences with practical takeaways

Please note: All sessions must be delivered in person and conducted in English.

Want your talk to stand out? Here’s what makes a strong submission:

• Craft a clear and compelling abstract – Focus on clarity, and highlight up to three key takeaways your audience will gain.
• Ground your talk in real experience – Case-based examples and stories resonate more than theory.
• Combine your speech with basic BA concepts – support building solid foundations for our audience
• Plan for interaction – Show us how you’ll engage the audience during your session (not just talk at them).
• Offer practical value – Include actionable tips your audience can apply after the event.
• Keep it simple – Stick to one core idea per proposal. Avoid trying to cover too much at once.
• Submit up to two proposals – More isn’t always better. Choose the topics that are most relevant and timely.
