For exhibitors interested in submitting 20-minute sessions for the Innovation Theater, held on the trade show floor, that will be a separate submittal at a later date.

DHI conNextions retains the rights to modify titles and descriptions for marketing purposes. Avoid all commercial bias.

Therefore, DHI conNextions requires that any person in a position to influence or control content disclose all relevant financial relationships and/or commercial interests at the time of proposal submission. Any submission that is not educational in nature, neutral and unbiased, and free of commercial motive/intent will not be accepted.

The selected proposals will receive an e-mail notification of participation by June 9, 2023. If you DO NOT receive notification by this date, this means your proposal has not been selected. If you have any questions about this process, please contact mbendickson@acbusinessmedia.com.
