Continuing the quick-paced format of DEAD Talks, the committee is looking for submissions to feature six key topics with three 18-minute talks per topic. They will be followed by a "Rookie Roundup", where individuals from the audience that are new in the industry can show off their presenting skills. The three best presentations of the Roundups will be voted on during the last day.

Your 18-minute sales session should target one of the following areas:
• Prospecting & Outreach
• Presenting & Educating
• Overcoming Objections
• Closing
• Client Development & Referrals
• Sales Leadership
Your proposal must include:
• Your name, title, company name, address, phone, and email address.
• Specific topic you are addressing (i.e., "prospecting & outreach").
