#6. Think outside the (product) box
Is your work changing industry practices? We’re especially interested in topics that drive industry-specific learning and workflows, not just product use.
#7. Race to the top
How will your topic or knowledge help differentiate AU from other terrific sources of learning and support?
#8. Tell us about yourself
Do you have experience teaching or speaking publicly? Have you won an award or written a paper? Don’t be shy—we want to know.
#9. Build on last year’s classes
Did something you learned at AU 2015 light a spark in you? We love building things up—especially knowledge.
#10. Forge new paths
Have a unique perspective on an emerging technology or trend? Are you creating pathways for future learning? Tell us everything.
#11. Got sharp soft skills?
Business success calls for more than software expertise. We’re also looking to help with professional development, project collaboration, and other “soft” specialties.
