APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Peer-to-Peer Learning
WFX attendees enjoy learning from their peers who are in the trenches and tackling issues similar to their own. To meet their expectations, WFX prefers for sessions to be taught or co-taught by a representative from a church. If you are a product manufacturer or service provider proposing a session, you are encouraged to recruit a customer to co-present or participate on a panel discussion. Sessions taught or co-taught by a church representatives are weighted more heavily during the review process.
Submitting a Proposal
All session proposals must be submitted through the online form (see link below). Please avoid using bulleted lists or any special characters as these may cause submission errors.
If you are submitting multiple sessions for consideration, please fill out a form for each individual submission. Multiple submissions received on one form will not be considered.
