Selection Process
Step 1: Submissions
All submissions should be made via the submission form before September 16th, 2021 at 10PM (PDT)
Step 2: Review and selection
The IAM Weekend 21 programme committee will review all the submitted proposals and preselect a group of finalists. Every applicant will be informed via email whether their proposal is or isn’t preselected by September 30th, 2021.
Step 3: Open review & voting
The preselected proposals will be published on the event website for an open review & voting period from September 27th to October 7th, 2021, including IAM Weekend 21 ticket holders and the wider public who will be asked to pick their favourite 3 proposals for each category.
Step 4: Final evaluation
The IAM Weekend 21 programme committee – an advisory board of past speakers, partners and specialists led by the IAM co-directors – will evaluate the final proposals and the results of the public review & voting.
The final decision will be made based on the following percentages:
30% – Public votes
30% – Ticket holder votes
40% – IAM Weekend 21 Programme Committee
This split will allow us to make sure that less well-known perspectives have as much of a chance as being selected to participate at IAM Weekend 21 as individuals or organisations with many followers.
Step 5: Line-up announcement
The line-up for IAM Weekend 21 including the results of this call for proposals, will be announced on October 11th, 2021 on the event website and IAM social channels.
