The Iowa Lean Consortium is excited to invite you to submit proposals for breakout presentations at our 2025 Annual Conference on Thursday, October 23, in Altoona.
Each year, the ILC Conference attracts hundreds of continuous improvement practitioners, leaders, change agents, and their teams from all sectors of our economy.
We are seeking breakout presentations that align with the principles of Lean, continuous improvement, change management, and/or enterprise transformation while engaging, informing, and offering the practical insights our attendees have come to expect. Priority will be given to proposals that not only provide actionable takeaways for attendees to implement immediately, but also share first-hand experiences, case studies, and personal lean journeys.
This year, we are particularly interested in presentations that highlight:
-
Real-world case studies of Lean/CI in action
-
Lessons learned from successful (or failed) projects/transformations
-
Engaging stories of culture change and leadership development
-
Practical tools and approaches that drive measurable results
-
Innovations in problem-solving, coaching, or strategy deployment
- Digital Lean tools or studies of Lean in hybrid/remote environments
Breakout sessions are 60 minutes long, consisting of 50 minutes of presentation, and 10 min Q&A.
Breakout sessions may be recorded.
The deadline for submissions is Monday, June 16, 11:59pm .
All who submit a proposal will be notified of presentation status by July 25.
If you have questions about the proposal process, please contact Emily Betz at betze@iastate.edu
