Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. How are content submissions scored?
The ARF Board of Curators thoroughly reviews your submission(s) and provides an overall score based on the following criteria:

• Is the content NEW? Does it advance or build on existing knowledge? Does it move our field forward?
• Does the content have practical APPLICATION? Are there real business results, not just theoretical outcomes?
• Is there proof and strength of evidence? Is there is a clear demonstration of the claims?
• Where is the PROOF? For solution providers – is there a client co-presenter?
• Is this a sales pitch? Blatant sales pitches will not be considered and will be eliminated in the first round of review.
• All submissions must include a completed Call for Content form on the required template.

2. When will I know the status of my submission?
You should receive notification on the status of your submission(s) no later than July 15, 2021.

3. What happens after I get selected?
The ARF will reach out with details including all deadlines and deliverables beginning with the selection process through the date of your final presentation.
