Call for Speakers for BBC 2024

Building Business Capability 2024 is scheduled for April 15-19, 2024. BBC is the official conference of IIBA®.

Deadline for Tutorial submissions: August 16, 2023
Deadline for Conference Session submissions was: September 8, 2023 – extended by one week.
Speakers will be notified by: October 31, 2023

Now the submission deadline has passed we are still happy to consider your submission in case of program changes. After the official Call for Speaker deadline, we no longer send feedback. We will contact you if a (backup) speaker slot becomes available.

Do you or any of your team have a formal presentation to contribute to this event?

Before you do make sure: 1) that you have pre-established authorization from your employer to present 2) that you have your travel expenses covered, and 3) that you agree if accepted not to cancel other than for medical or family-emergency reasons – among other requirements. Submitting and agreeing to speak is a professional commitment to be taken seriously. All selected speakers will be entitled to attend the 3 day conference free of charge.

Selection Process

We are accepting submissions for conference sessions and half-day workshops. The 2024 conference theme is “Igniting your potential” and submissions tying into the theme have a higher chance of acceptance. We are particularly interested in case studies—especially ones that have proven ROI.

All submissions will be reviewed by the BBC Program Council who will select the presentations for the 2024 BBC Conference.

• Roger Burlton, Founder, Process Renewal Group
• Jared Gorai, CBAP, Director, Regions & Chapters, IIBA
• Gladys Lam, Co-Founder & Principal, Business Rule Solutions, LLC
• Ronald G. Ross, Co-Founder & Principal, Business Rule Solutions, LLC

The Program Council places higher value on presentations that provide:

• High quality content, including: title, session description and learning objectives
• New information, emerging and/or innovative approaches, practices or techniques
• Case studies, success stories & lessons learned by the organization itself
• Specialized topics related to key practice areas of the conference

Building Business Capability is the only conference that enhances your ability to advance People, Product, Data, and Knowledge, to build core leadership skills, and to deliver business excellence in today’s organizations. True business excellence is required to be customer-centric and to successfully deliver digital business transformation. Whether organizations are looking to optimize or transform their business practices or strategize a new business direction, BBC provides the most comprehensive conference program offering insights through a broad range of topics, round-table working sessions, case studies, panels, and tutorials.

The most important thing is have something to say that’s useful! Value-add is a must. The audience will want actionable content – stuff they can apply or make a difference with when they get back to their jobs. What have you learned that can be useful to them? How can they apply it? Talking about case studies is always good. So is ROI.

Don’t underestimate the BBC audience. Generally you’ll be talking to experienced, world-class professionals who are capable of absorbing new material comfortably. Aim high!
