SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

- Write a short, concise, easy to read and understand abstract.

- Spell out all acronyms the first time mentioned.
- Use a clear and direct writing style with active voice rather than passive.
- Persuade the reviewers of the value of your session’s content.
TRACKS
The program will have four tracks. The goal is to generally categorize your session. You must select one track:
Developing :: Creating, Designing, Planning, Deploying, Enhancing.
This track is for instructors, software developers, system engineers, and anyone that develops solutions, content, or the platforms that run, connect, or secure them.
Using :: Teaching, Learning, Running, Practicing, Consuming.
This track is for sharing case studies, effective practices, lessons learned, or strategies to help your colleagues using Apereo software and other applications or services around the globe.
Growing :: Advocating, Leading, Expanding, Governing, Connecting.
This track is for promoting solutions, bridging communities, and increasing adoption of academic software, solutions, and practices.
Beyond :: Different, Unique, Surprising, Outside-the-Box, Other
There are many ways to share knowledge and inspire solutions, and they don't always fit into tidy labels. This track is for all other presentation proposals that go beyond developing, using, and growing.
