Submission Tips


Best Practices for Descriptions and Tags

To assist attendees in searching and understanding the content of your session, we encourage submitters to review the tips below during the submission process. By following these simple tips, you should increase both the quality and clarity of your proposal and make it easier for attendees to determine if the session is appropriate for them.

Session Description:

  • Session descriptions (available online only) are limited to 1000 characters.
  • Product names should be spelled out, such as E-Business Suite, Hyperion, Oracle, and PeopleSoft.
  • Module or application names should be spelled out, such as General Ledger (not GL) or Student Records (not SR).
  • Use third-person, not second-person pronouns. In the case of an institution, say 'it' or 'its', not 'we' or 'our'.
  • The first reference to a version should be spelled out, such as Release 12 (for R12) or Version 9.0 (for 9.0).
  • The first reference to an institution or company should be the full name.
  • Use the terms 'delivered' or 'customized' to describe the level of customization.
  • Include the country when listing regulations.

Tags:

  • Product names should be spelled out, such as E-Business Suite, Hyperion, Oracle, and PeopleSoft.
  • Module or application names should be spelled out, such as General Ledger (not GL) or Student Records (not SR).
  • Versions should include a leading descriptor, such as R12 (for Release 12) or V9.0 (for Version 9.0)
  • Use the terms 'delivered' or 'customized' to describe the level of customization. The conference will prioritize sessions offering training or solutions using the delivered product.
