Submit Your Presentation Proposal for NCMPR into the Future

2024 NATIONAL CONFERENCE
March 14-16, 2024 | Seattle, Washington

At NCMPR’s 2024 national conference in Seattle, our program will boast 360 degrees of marketing know-how. So share that know-how with us and with all your marketing peers.

TIPS FOR YOUR PROPOSAL

What's Your Level?

You’ll notice we ask you to label your presentation as beginner, intermediate or advanced. Last year, it seemed that hardly anyone selected advanced. Marketers’ job descriptions are lengthy, but we also know that most of us have an area that is our specialty. Don’t be afraid to call yourself the expert in an area where you’re an expert!

Tips We Can Use

Session attendees want to walk away from presentations with ideas they can bring back to their teams. We love sessions that spotlight your college’s success, but don’t forget to explain how attendees can replicate that success at their own schools.

Wish List Topics

We’ll consider any presentation that will help our members do their jobs better and make our members’ lives a little easier. But we do have a special wish list of topics, culled from the evaluations from the 2023 national conference in Orlando:

• Topics geared toward small marketing teams
• Retention
• Recruitment
• How to hold other departments responsible for the college brand
• Crisis communications
• How to showcase your team’s success to college leadership
• How to market workforce development and noncredit classes
• Caring for your team’s mental health
• Marketing technology trends and innovations 

Proposal request deadline has been extended to Oct. 6, 2023.
