Overview: The Content Committee assists in soliciting proposal
submissions and participates in the judging of all proposals. The committee
develops the session and workshop schedule based on judging results. Onsite,
committee members monitor sessions and workshops to ensure rooms do not
overfill and act as liaisons for presenters relaying problems/needs to
staff/tech crew.
- The
Call for Participation is the process through which educators and industry
experts can apply to present sessions and workshops at the
convention. The Call for Participation information is posted on the
TCEA website. The submission deadline was May 31. Late proposals are currently being accepted for past presenters with merit.
- Evaluations
of sessions were completed online. All board members are required to
participate in the session evaluation process. Each session must be
evaluated by a minimum of 3 board members. The evaluation process took place June 1-15.
- The
Content Committee members will select sessions based on the evaluations
and remarks. Priority will be given to educator-led sessions and a
suggested limitation of exhibitor-led presentations. (Exhibitors may also
choose to apply for an Exhibitor Showcase through the Exhibitor Services
Kit sent by TCEA’s Events and Exhibit Manager.)
- The
TCEA office will schedule the sessions selected, based on availability of
rooms. Sessions should be scheduled to maximize the available room space
with the most popular sessions scheduled in the largest rooms.
- Once
the committee selects the presentations and workshops the staff liaison,
Meaghan Rhame, is responsible for scheduling, notifying presenters,
collecting contracts, and monitoring cancellations from presenters to
fill gaps as needed.
