2024 Focus on Teaching and Technology Conference (FTTC):  Proposal Submission Form
The FTTC planning committee invites you to submit a proposal for our 2024 conference, occurring Thursday October 3rd and Friday October 4th. This year's conference will be entirely VIRTUAL (via Zoom).

This St. Louis regional conference highlights faculty innovations, teaching workshops, and emerging trends in technology application in higher education including shared expertise with online teaching strategies. We are seeking presenters who can offer attendees both a vision of the impact and importance of their topic and concrete, practical examples of real-world implementation.  For more information about the Conference or last year's program view our website

The deadline for proposal submissions is April 30 11:59 PM CT, 2024. The proposal selection committee will review proposals throughout May and June. Those submitting proposals will be contacted in July about the status of their proposal.

NOTE: As there will be a limited number of slots for concurrent sessions on this year's schedule, presentation approval will be competitive. Proposals are assessed using the evaluation criteria below. We highly recommend that proposals take those criteria into consideration before submitting.

Thank you for your interest in being a part of this amazing, dynamic, and engaging conference. Our presenters are such a big part of what makes this a great event, year after year!
