- Proposals must be submitted electronically no later than Friday, November 15, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time).

- The National Principals Conference screening committee will make selections based on audience and content needs that reflect a diverse demographic. The submission of a concurrent session proposal does not guarantee inclusion in the National Principals Conference program.

- Sessions will run for 75 minutes. All sessions will be scheduled throughout NPC20, which begins on Tuesday, July 7th, and continues through Thursday, July 9th.
- Up to three presenters may be listed for each session proposal. Do not list presenters without a definite commitment that the co-presenter(s) will appear during the program. All presenters must agree to the terms and conditions for participation.
- The primary person submitting each proposal will serve as the point of contact for NPC20. This person will be responsible for all related presentation specifications and for informing the presenter(s) of the status of the proposal, deadlines, and registration fees.
- The National Principals Conference session presenters receive no speaker fee and must pay their own travel expenses including hotel, airfare, and ground transportation. If your session is selected, all presenters must pay a speaker registration fee of $295 no later than Friday, May 29, 2020. This fee covers the NPC20 indirect expenses related to the session room. In exchange, presenters benefit through their exposure to a national audience of school leaders.
- By submitting a concurrent session proposal, you agree that the National Principals Conference or a representative of the conference has your permission to use all images, presentations, materials, and/or handouts you have submitted without restriction in any means of communication. Conference staff will provide presenters with tips for developing top-notch presentations and a standard PowerPoint slide template. NPC20 presenters must agree to allow minor editing of their presentations if requested.
