Presentations should relate to a facilities management area or general state administration: operations & maintenance, architecture & engineering, construction planning, department of transportation, real estate, leasing, contracting, capitol restoration general facilities management, building design, construction and maintenance, information technology, and additional business services. However, other areas of state management issues are welcome. Presentation submissions from the private sector are highly encouraged to include a presentation/participation from a public sector representative. Public sector representatives can be anyone from a state, city, university, municipalities or similar organizations.

Audiovisual presentations and other materials for each session will be made available on NASFA’s website and/or conference app prior to the conference. If your presentation is accepted you agree to provide NASFA with a copy of your audiovisual presentation and other materials electronically three (3) weeks in advance of the conference.

Presenters are required to register for the conference and cover all travel and lodging expenses. A reduced registration fee will be offered to presenters. Discounted amount will be determined in the very near future. Only list co-presenters who understand the expenses involved and have given you a definite commitment they will co-present with you. Conference registration fees cover program related food and beverage, plus conference materials. The hotel rate is $189.00 single or double occupancy, plus tax.

Presentations will range in time between 5, 10, 20, or 45 minutes depending on the quality of proposals and time allotted. Panels may be created from two or more of the submitted proposals if topics are similar.

Anticipated attendance is 75-125 attendees for general sessions and 45-60 attendees for in-person concurrent sessions.

Meeting rooms for both general and concurrent sessions will be set-up classroom style or U-shape, so presenters should plan accordingly.

Presentations should NOT be sales pitches or training sessions. We are looking for cutting edge, best practices, and government project-related presentations. Presentations should be based on case studies or real world examples.

NASFA strongly encourages private sector presentations include a presentation and participation from a public sector representative. Public Sector is defined as an employee representing state, federal, county, municipality, university or any other such public entity.

It is very important that whomever is listed as the contact person take the responsibility to communicate with all co-presenters regarding all correspondence concerning the conference.
