DISCLAIMER

DATTA Qld would like to advise that the views expressed by presenters during our events and programs do not necessarily reflect the views or official position of DATTA Qld. DATTA Qld strives to encourage submission of a range of presentation types and topics, with the condition that presenters consult with the QCAA officer/relevant body linked to the subject area (where applicable).

Publication

Should your presentation submission be accepted, it will be published in the conference app. We recommend you proof your submission well prior to submitting.

It is a condition of submission that the QCAA officer/relevant body linked to the subject area is consulted about the content of your presentation prior to submission, where applicable.

If your presentation is about a new product or service, please ensure it is not a sales pitch. Instead, we encourage you to discuss the key features and benefits, and how it can be incorporated into modern classroom teaching. If you wish to promote a particular brand you can do so as part of a trade display demonstration.

During the submission process you will be able to select whether you would prefer to be allocated a one hour or two hour time slot in the program. Please note we will endeavour to provide you with your preference, but due to timings and room availability we cannot guarantee the outcome.

  • General Design & Technologies subjects (Aerospace Systems, Design, Engineering, Food & Nutrition)

The program will be held in person at Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.

DATTA Qld intends to record sessions in one room to share with members post-conference, and it is optional for presenters to provide recording permission.

You will be able to save as a draft and return for editing before completing your submission. Once you have submitted you will not be able to edit it via the portal.

You will receive an automated email response to confirm that we have received your submission. If you don’t receive this email, please contact the conference organiser via dattaqld@expertevents.com.au  

 

If you are ready to get started, head to the presentation submission portal and follow the instructions. We look forward to seeing your submission!

Notification of acceptance will be emailed out on 22 April 2025.

To ensure your presentation is included in the 2025 program, successful presenters will be required to register for the conference by Friday 9 May 2025. Presenters will receive a complimentary registration to the conference for the day they are presenting. If you do not register by this date, your submission may be withdrawn.
