  2. Overall quality of proposal
  3. Connection and relevance to the conference theme and nominated sub-theme (where applicable)
  4. Clarity of objectives
  5. Sound academic content and basis
  6. Proposed content is not a promotion of your products, services nor organization. (You may use your organization as an example or case study to support the aim of your presentation but it must be balanced with other examples or case studies.)
