ICBI38 Call for Proposals
InBIA’s annual conference - the International Conference on Business Incubation (ICBI) - provides space for industry peers to share expertise, proven strategies, effective resources, and more during concurrent sessions. To ensure we are reflecting a breadth of topics of interest and the most current trends in the field, we build the bulk of our program based on practitioner submissions of ideas for panels, lectures and discussions. Before you submit your ideas, please read through this document for more information about session tracks, anticipated audience, selection criteria and more.
Please note: part of this effort includes ensuring each session represents multiple points of view, and we will be paying special attention to having international and diverse perspectives included. This may mean that you will be asked to work with others on the topic you propose. If this is an issue, please communicate your concerns to Lindsay Schuenke at lschuenke@inbia.org.
