Industry Session proposals may be submitted for an individual speaker presentation or for an overall session proposal. The total time allowed for each presentation is 25 minutes, including 5 minutes for Q and A. To submit a proposal for an Industry Session at APEC, presenters should prepare a 2-3-page proposal that provides a summary of the presentation content and a description of the target audience. Also, a short professional biography of the speaker should be included.  If proposing for a full session, a proposal for each of the individual presentations must be submitted. Presentations should have strong technical content and commercial references should be limited and only in support of the core content.
