Conference sessions are a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes with 2-5 presenters. Proposals should include a clear and comprehensive outline and must include 15-20 of audience participation/engagement.

Session Proposal Requirements:

• Title and 500-word description
• Target audience
• Chair and presenter information including, contact information (affiliation, title, email, address, etc.) and a brief bio (75 words or less)
• Outline learning objectives/goals, content, and takeaways participants can readily use
• Specify how you plan to engage the audience during the session

Session proposals will be reviewed and rated based on how well they:

• Align with CIEE’s Annual Conference theme and are unique to the CIEE Annual Conference.
• Represent collaboration or perspectives of both faculty and international offices. Proposals including faculty presenters are strongly preferred.
• Exhibit diversity in speakers and perspectives. Proposals that include varying institutions, organizations, and/or students are preferred.
• Present practical information that participants can readily apply.
• Demonstrate innovative ideas, unique and thought-provoking topics, current research or theories, or recognized best practices. If submitting a proposal based on a case study, include independent research to support or disprove your theory.

The Poster Fair is designed to offer an opportunity for one-on-one meaningful discussion and visual presentation based on your research and ideas related to topics on international education – a perfect venue to present on case study findings from a single institution. Proposals should include a comprehensive outline for a 30-minute visual presentation. Proposals that invite audience participation and engagement are preferred. Be creative – alternate methods of presentation, such as handouts or laptop presentations, are encouraged.
