​Presentations will be reviewed and evaluated by the Disability:IN GKC Event Planning Committee based on content, format and presenter credentials. We are looking for sessions that are relevant and timely, cover topics related to or based on advancing disability inclusion in the workplace, and provide how-to’s and real-world applications.

Questions the reviewers will consider:
  • Content: Is the information timely, relevant and innovative? Does it align with advancing disability inclusion in the workplace? Do the description and learner outcomes clearly state what participants will take from this session? 
  • Format: Is the session format conducive for adult learners? Does the session involve audience participation? Does the session address all learner types? Are there interesting elements in the format that could serve as a model?
  • Presenter: Is the presenter knowledgeable, experienced and credible on the proposed topic? Did the presenter receive positive recommendations from credible references?
