It’s time for another Higher Logic Super Forum! In its 12th year, Super Forum is the biggest and most comprehensive conference focused on community engagement – and this year it’s even bigger, as we add Vanilla’s highly regarded Vanilla Conversations conference into the mix.  

But Super Forum wouldn’t be the same without YOU! We’re looking for speakers to help bring our conference to life. Through the past year and a half, you’ve risen to challenges and found new and creative ways to connect people and create better experiences. We want to hear what worked (and what didn't) – and so do your peers.  

Sound like you? We want to hear more:

• You worked on a successful project and want to showcase how you achieved your great results. 
• You know how to do something cool in any Higher Logic or Vanilla product and want to share.  
• You learned something this year that you think other customers would benefit from. 
• You’re an expert in a certain area and want to share some tips. 
• You encountered and solved a challenge this year that you can help others work through. 

Super Forum Details:
Super Forum 2021 will be FREE and fully virtual, with three full days of engaging and inspiring content, discussions, and events, happening October 19th - 21st, between 9 am and 5 pm EST.
 
The conference features two core tracks: Association & Corporate, bringing together Executives, Membership, Marketing, and Customer Success professionals. Audiences within these industries are focused on leveraging the power of online communities and/or marketing automation to drive customer and member engagement.

Topics of interest will be related to:

• Online community and marketing automation 
• How marketers, membership, and customer success professionals can harness these tools and strategies to help organizations achieve their goals.  
• We are especially interested in perspectives on engagement, customer advocacy, measurement of success, and how technology can help achieve these goals.   

What makes a great Super Forum session:

1. Clear takeaways. 

Share the takeaways you plan to share as part of your talk. We want people to walk away with advice and tactics they can use.  

2. Practical & tactical. 
We highly prize sessions that provide practical, tactical takeaways, and we welcome talks based on your personal experiences incorporating lessons, advice, and examples.  

3. Noting the skill level.
Let us know what level you would place your talk at in terms of your audience’s level of experience or current state of implementation (e.g. 101 – 501) 

4. Detailed.
Add as many details as possible! We thoroughly read all submissions, so the more detail the better. A couple of sentences in a submission will not likely have a good chance of getting accepted. Please be as clear as possible about your planned topic, the ideas you are sharing, and the advice you will provide.  

5. Appropriate length.
The target length of the presentation is 30-35 minutes, with 10-15 minutes for questions, for a total of 45 minutes. 

6. No promotions. 

Content should be thought leadership in nature, and no sales pitches will be accepted. 

7. Panel questions in advance.
We are open to panels (and encourage them), but we want to make sure you have a clear goal and, if possible, we'd like to know the questions you will cover. Our team can act as moderators for you - so all members can participate. 
 

Important expectations when accepted:

- Draft: Send 6 weeks before the live event (September 7th). 

- Slides: Send your slides 4 weeks before the event (September 21st). 

- Exclusivity: We ask that you do not present your session at any other event/webinar 45 days before and 45 days after Super Forum.  

- Agreement: A speaker agreement must be completed within one week of session acceptance.
