A Call for Proposals (CFP) is a formal invitation or announcement made by an organization or event host to solicit submissions or proposals from individuals or organizations who wish to present, speak, or contribute in some way to a meeting, conference, or event. Key aspects of a CFP include:
Clearly stating the objectives and theme of the event, along with the specific topics or areas of interest for which proposals are sought.
Providing detailed instructions on how potential presenters or contributors should prepare and submit their proposals, including format, deadlines, and required information.
Outlining the process by which submitted proposals will be evaluated and selected, often involving a committee or review panel.
Clearly communicating the timeline for notifying applicants about the acceptance or rejection of their proposals.
Providing information about presentation formats, session lengths, equipment, and any logistical details that presenters should be aware of.
