Call for Topical and Vertical Proposals

IEEE FNWF’23 welcomes submissions from organizational professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, educators, and more.  As a cross-sector, cross-disciplinary, topical vertical session, we seek submissions from a wide range of contexts, sectors, academia, and industries. This is your opportunity to join trailblazing leaders and leadership professionals, scholars, and educators engaging in this multi-channel global exchange as we explore IEEE FNWF’23 Topical and Vertical Sessions.

Proposals in the Vertical and Topical areas should complement the conference program and not conflict with topics already covered by our Symposia. The proposals should focus on the following: suggestions for speakers (all speakers will be invited by the topical vertical session organizer – no technical papers will be accepted and archived in IEEE Xplore), panel discussions, roundtables, presentation sessions on focus topics, demonstrations of novel or important technologies, and events with other formats that may be effective for furthering the involvement and participation of the attendees.
