ICYMI, the GOOD conference is an event for the entire Open OnDemand community. GOOD25 is a 3-day in-person event taking place from March 18-20, 2025 at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in live keynote sessions, talks, BoFs, and tutorials, and to get to know fellow members of the Open OnDemand community.
Are there any proposal templates or examples available for GOOD? I’m looking for good examples to demonstrate the best practices for putting together a GOOD proposal.
Hi Sasmita, thank you for your interest in submitting a proposal for the GOOD Conference! Since this is our inaugural event, we don’t have specific templates or examples available. However, we recommend the following best practices for creating a strong proposal:
Clear Objectives: Clearly define the main idea or problem your session will address, and outline how it connects to the Open OnDemand community.
Audience Relevance: Specify who your target audience is and what they can expect to learn or take away from your session.
Engaging Format: Highlight how your session will engage attendees—whether through live demos, interactive discussions, or real-world use cases.
Practical Examples: Include any specific examples, results, or case studies to illustrate your points and showcase practical applications.
Concise Abstract: Write a concise and compelling abstract that gives reviewers a clear understanding of your session’s value and content.
Character Limits:
Abstract: 800 characters
Description: 2,500 characters
There are two parts to a proposal:
Abstract: The abstract tells attendees what the talk/tutorial is about. It should be short and to-the-point. This is your chance to pitch attendees on watching your talk/tutorial.
Description: The description expands on the abstract and provides background and additional details about your talk/tutorial. It is often helpful for talk descriptions to include an outline of the talk/tutorial. The Program Committee reads each description carefully to determine if a talk/tutorial is a good fit.
If you have additional questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out at info@good.openondemand.org. We’re excited to help you craft a proposal for our inaugural event!
