Now Accepting Proposals

 

Priority is given to sessions that:

1. Provoke a feeling of:  "You can only get this training during NLECCC" Reviewers are looking for fresh content and ideas.
2. Disrupt participants thinking and provide insights and or techniques they can apply to their everyday. This is not a call for academic papers; the focus is on the practical application. We are looking for DYNAMIC speakers.
3. Engaging participants is key. Create an experience for participants that involves them in the learning process through engaging activities, humor or from something that provides opportunities for reflection and integration of what they're learning into their real-world, work life situations and that engage them in problem solving with each other.
4. Include at least three measurable learning objectives in your proposal.
5. Sessions that can be peer reviewed.

If there will be more than one presenter, identify by name, title, organization, and contact information the subject matter experts who have AGREED to speak in your proposed session. Do not list people who you would like to invite to present with you; only include those you have confirmed to present.

Keynote Presentation:

Keynote presentations highlight topics of significant current or historical interest to the NLECCC community. Proposals can be diverse, ranging from new technologies or methods to informed case studies about law enforcement and corporate crime experiences and techniques in action. Keynote presentations may last up to 90 minutes, and speakers should indicate that their submission is a keynote. Speakers must submit slides for acceptance of a Keynote Presentation or a link to a preview of a past presentation.

 

General Session:

General Session presentations on a topic of current interest to the NLECCC delegation are typically 45-60-minutes long (including time for Q&A). Speakers must submit slides for acceptance of a General Session presentation. General Session talks may run concurrently with other sessions.

 

General Session Panel:

Panels are 45-90-minute discussions with a moderator and a team of panelists. The panel moderator must submit an abstract on the discussion topic, a draft list of panelists, and an overview of the panel presentation. Acceptance of Panel submissions will be based on the proposed topic, the expertise of proposed panelists that is inclusive of Corporate Security, Law Enforcement, Financial, as well as the potential for informative and constructive discussion. The NLECCC welcomes the early submission of panel materials, and the panel moderator should upload the materials for consideration.

 

Breakouts / Session Tracks:

Tracks are 45-60 minute sessions of topics regarding a specific area of network operation, which are of interest to a portion of the NLECCC.
