This is the news many of you have waited for, the call for speakers for LOGIN 2010. To speak at the LOGIN Conference is a mark of distinction and accomplishment in the game industry — but it's not necessarily easy. Speakers and their abstracts are vetted through peer review, and are carefully matched to our attendees' needs. The Call for Speakers is open to all online game industry experts worldwide, whether for console, PC or mobile platforms. Candidates are asked to review the topics of interest and session submission tips on the LOGIN 2010 website and then submit a completed session proposal form with 1,000 word abstract and biography before the deadline of January 25, 2010.
Top 5 tips for getting your proposal accepted at LOGIN
1. Submit a proposal on one of the many identified areas of interest. The advisory board has put a good deal of thought identifying areas that we feel are relevant to attendees. If your proposal is the only one for an area we are interested in, it will have priority over all the proposals outside our identified topic ideas.
2. Avoid any marketing slant in your proposals, particularly if you represent a service or technology vendor. LOGIN will host no sponsored or commercial sessions, and proposals which appear to be sales pitches in disguise will be rejected.
3. Focus on areas of your expertise. The audience of LOGIN consists of experienced industry leaders who want to hear from experts. Avoid areas where you aren't experienced or recognized as an expert. Give stories about your own experiences, rather than theoretical ideas.
4. Spend time writing a quality abstract. A poorly written or overly terse abstract indicates that you aren't willing to prepare in advance. The abstract is the most important part of your proposal and the basis on which it will be judged.
5. Submit your proposal well before the January 25 deadline. By the end of the call for speakers, we will have selected many of the sessions already and your proposal will be competing with every other proposal for a shrinking number of speaker slots.
