types of submissions we are seeking

  • Lecture-style session on a relevant topic or issue generally presented by an MDT professional currently working in the field of crimes against children or by an approved training consultant. These sessions may be supplemented with slides, video, and audio. Content should be such that it would meet the training requirements of conference accreditation agencies. These sessions should not be used to promote or demonstrate fee-based products/services.

  • A detailed overview of a specific case in which you were involved. Presentation may be supplemented with slides, video, and audio. The case study must be more than a “war story.” Case studies should assist attendees in learning from your experience with the case you are presenting. Case studies should share your experience and the lessons learned. They should help attendees when handling future cases of their own that may deal with similar issues. Only cases that have received a final adjudication should be submitted.

  • Forums provide professionals within a specific professional category a place to discuss topics and issues that are relevant to their profession. Audience participation and Q&A are fundamental components of forums. Forums are restricted and will be pre-determined, discussed, and approved by the Conference prior to submission.
