2024 ILC Annual Conference Call for Presentations

The Iowa Lean Consortium invites proposals for breakout presentations at our 2024 Annual Conference on Thursday, October 24, in Des Moines. Each year, the ILC Conference attracts hundreds of continuous improvement practitioners and teams from all sectors of our economy. We are seeking breakout presentations that engage, inform, and offer practical insights. 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.

Breakout sessions are 60 minutes long, consisting of 50 minutes of presentation, and 10 min Q&A. This year’s conference will not be live-streamed, but breakout sessions will be recorded.

The deadline for submissions is June 14.

All who submit a proposal will be notified of presentation status by July 26.

 

If you have questions about the proposal process, please contact Emily Betz at betze@iastate.edu
