Call for Presentations

Presentation proposals for training sessions are now being accepted for consideration. All proposals must be submitted online no later than Monday, June 1, 2026. 

This year we are creating user tracks for Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced Classes to assist presenters in classifying their submissions. Presentations can be intended for any experience level, from beginner to advanced, and can cover a wide range of topics including but not limited to:

  • Crime or intelligence analysis case studies - these are not restricted to tactical analysis; they can include special projects, redistricting, workload allocations or anything similar.
  • Investigative or analytical techniques.
  • Statistical analysis.
  • Analyzing specialty datasets, such as geolocation data, unstructured text, etc.
  • Hands-on computer training – this can include anything from MS Excel, MS Access, crime mapping, AI, Crystal Reports, SQL, Power BI, creating dashboards, or similar computer-based programs. If your presentation is designed for a computer lab, please specify in your proposal.

Members from outside the United States are encouraged to submit presentations.

Criteria

  • Presentations are generally 50 minutes in length. If you can teach a two (2) hour class, please indicate in your submission. 
  • You can have one (1) primary speaker and three (3) co-speakers. Once you choose your primary speaker, there are no changes/substitutions to the submission.
  • The primary speaker receives reduced registration of $250 and one (1) night hotel per speaking engagement. The primary speaker must book at the Conference hotel to receive this benefit. Co-speakers still need to cover their own registration and hotel expenses.
  • You need permission from your agency to present and attend the conference before submitting. 
  • All presentations must be conducted in person (no virtual/streaming).
  • Presentations from vendors will be through our exhibitor team. Contact [email protected] for more information. 
  • Presentations are evaluated based on the abstract submitted, and the speaker’s background and work experience. 

If selected, each presenter will also need to submit a headshot (256 x 256 px) and a personal bio (2000 characters) through the speaker portal.
