2025 Benchmarking Conference - Submit a Conference Proposal
Proposals due by March 30, 2025
The Benchmarking Institute’s annual conference highlights promising research and best practices at community and technical colleges. We encourage collaborative proposals from multiple departments. We also encourage proposals on how data and benchmarking are used to support and inform decisions.
Breakout Session
50-minute presentation (with access to a PC/USB port and projection of presentation). Breakout Sessions will take place throughout the conference and should have rich content and a degree of audience interaction and engagement. These sessions may have a variety of formats including a panel discussion, an interactive workshop, an engaging lecture/presentation, or other. All formats should allow for some audience interaction and engagement.

These 10-minute sessions will include a poster and/or handout on a specific topic and should include at least 5-minutes of a presentation/description and 5-minutes of an interactive discussion/Q & A. (Each session will be repeated 5 times throughout the 50-minute time slot.)
Proposal topics may include, but are not limited to the following:
- Accreditation
