Project Delivery 2015
Instructions for Thumbnail Submission Form
PrivateSector Advisory Boardmembers (sponsors) are responsible from creating a thumbnail for their educational session. Conference attendees will use these thumbnails during the registration process to select sessions. The thumbnail provides the attendees with information about the session topic, the speakers and the targeted audience. Public Sector Advisory Board members (government) provide assistance in the development of the session and the government perspective. A well-developed thumbnail will create interest for your topic, session and help to insure a full class.
The Thumbnail Submission Forum is used to submit your thumbnail for entry into the online agenda. Below is information on each category.
Sponsor Information: This is the contact information for your organization and the session. This information is used by PSP for questions and clarification on your session.
Assigned Track: Enter one from the list below.
- Project Delivery Training and Analytics
- Developing Effective Project Leaders and Project Sponsors
- Targeted Education Sessions (Extended Sessions)

Session Title: The title should be eye catching, a phrase or short sentence that will spark enough interest from the attendees that they will want to continue reading. The goal of the title is to get the attendees to continue reading the information on your session. *70 character limit
Main Speaker/Panel Moderator/Additional Panel Members or Speakers:
This information is critical. Many attendees will make their selection on speaker and panel members! Having this information complete at the time the registration site goes online (end of July) will increase attendance to the conference and your session. Using Public Sector panel members also helps in the session attendance as the attendees like to hear from their managers, peers and other government personnel issues.
Session Format: The session format (lecture, discussion, workshop, panel, etc.) will assist PSP with the room assignment and help us determine the setup for your room.
Session Description: The session description should create a purpose that is compelling and conveys the value of your session. Make sure your session description demonstrates a link between your educational content and the goals and objectives of the conference. Here is a list of questions your description would answer:
- Why is the Topic Important?
- What are the main challenges involved?
- What is the purpose of the session?
- What is your approach to solve the problem?
