Make A Proposal

Note: The proposal form will open on March 23 and remain open through April 21.

Tired of writing a new biography blurb for every separate time you speak at every new IT Pro Forum?

We’ve solved that problem with our WordPress migration! Everyone can have their own biography page and can refer to it. If you give us an Illinois.edu email address, we can give you edit control of it too.

  • If you were a presenter in Spring or Fall 2024, you probably already have a personal URL in the structure of https://itproforum.illinois.edu/bio/your-name-as-entered.
  • If you weren’t a presenter in Spring or Fall 2024, but you have presented in the past, you probably have a tag in our archives. We’ll set up a biography page for you that you can update, which will also display your current and past presentations from our records.

After you have a biography, you can use it (along with up to 3 of your colleagues) in any proposal you make.

  • Here’s the new Proposal Form.
  • If you’d like to collaborate on the proposal with your co-presenters:
    • Start the Proposal Form
    • Click the Save and Continue button
    • Share the Save and Continue link with your collaborators
    • Important: Decide which of you will finish the proposal and click through to Submit before the deadline!
