Conference Proposal Selection Criteria
Proposal Submission Process
To align and simplify the RP Conference Call for Proposals and RP Group Awards nomination processes, the two processes are combined on the Call for Proposals and Awards Nomination Form. All eligible presentation proposals will be automatically nominated for an RP Group Award and all award winners will receive a session at the 2020 RP Conference.
For RP Group Awards criteria and other information, please visit the RP Group Awards webpage.
The deadline to submit an online submission form has been extended to 11:59 pm on Tuesday, December 10, 2019.
The theme for the conference is Cultivating a Mindful Data Culture.
Specifically, we are seeking proposals that address the conference theme and introduce or advance the discussion of a topic or utilization a tool or resource that is relevant to the research and planning community.
If you would like to plan for your proposal using a paper version of the form as a reference, you can download a PDF copy.
