CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR GBTA 2023 CONVENTION IS NOW OPEN!
1. Home
2. Professional Development
3. Call for Proposals for GBTA 2023 Convention is now open!
GBTA is seeking industry professionals to contribute new ideas, solutions, and
innovations for current issues and challenges that confront the travel industry.
New this year! To streamline the submission and review process, GBTA has removed
the draft PPT requirement that has previously been submitted with the proposal.
This year, we are requiring a draft content outline and speaker demographics be
submitted with the proposal. This is a required part of the submission process
and any proposals that omit the content outline and speaker demographics will be
considered “incomplete” and not be submitted for review. Submission Portal
Closes on January 20, 2023
GBTA is committed to incorporating diverse perspectives within each session and
across the entire Convention. We encourage you to submit content topics that
will be timely and most useful to travel professionals as the business travel
industry’s landscape continues to evolve and restore.
To ensure a wide-ranging selection of sessions, we request proposals include
lecture or panel presentations with diverse speakers and audience engagement
that will reach varying skill levels and interests of the attendees.
The information you include in your submission will be used for the peer-review
process which evaluates all submissions to determine the sessions to be
delivered for Convention and other GBTA events. If selected, this information
will also be used to help promote your session.
If you have questions regarding the CFP process, please email pd@gbta.org.

Who is the targeted audience for your presentation?
The GBTA Convention draws business travel professionals from around the world,
working in all different sectors of the industry, ranging from industry buyers
and suppliers to finance, procurement, and HR Professionals. Presentations
should apply to executives, owners, directors, mid-level managers, and
first-time Convention attendees. Although we draw some professionals relatively
new to the business travel industry, keep in mind that the balance of the
Convention audience is comprised of experienced professionals committed to
life-long learning. They seek high-level educational opportunities, and we are
committed to providing them.
What is the proposal review process?
* All proposals are submitted into a double-blinded review process that is
completed by a group of volunteers, made up of your industry peers (business
travel experts and representatives of the GBTA membership), who are a part of
a Peer Review Council (PRC).
* The proposals are then twice scored by the PRC, followed by an in-person
meeting to discuss all the proposals at length and make the final selections
for the education program.
* Members of the PRC do not have the ability to score their own presentation
submissions.
* If you are interested in volunteering for the Peer Review Council to review
proposal submissions, please email pd@gbta.org.
What criteria is my proposal being scored based on?
* Content Relevance to Business Travel and the current environment
* Compelling Title and Session Description
* Learning Outcomes and Takeaways for the audience
* Uniqueness of proposed content
* Overall Quality of Proposal
May businesses propose educational content?
Yes, we welcome proposals from buyer and supplier or allied businesses. However,
proposals that sound like advertisements of a product or service will not be
accepted. If you are a supplier of products or services, be sure your proposal
focuses on a relevant topic, concept, or idea – not one of your products or
services.
What is the approximate timeline for the submission process, review process, and
session development?
* Accepting Submissions: October 17, 2022 – January 13, 2023
* Peer Review: February – April
* Notifications Sent: End of April/Beginning of May
* Session Development: Ongoing through May – July
* GBTA Convention: August 13-15
*All dates are subject to change
When will I hear back about the status of my proposal?
All submitters will receive email notification of the PRC’s decision regarding
their proposal by the end of April/beginning of May 2023.
