Please review the proposal submission guidelines and rules carefully before submitting your application.

• Length: Breakout Sessions run concurrently during a dedicated 90-minute block of symposium programming.
• Rolling Reviews: Proposals will be reviewed by the Program Committee as they are received. Early submissions are strongly encouraged and will maximize consideration for inclusion in the final program.
• Program Exposure: To help attract participants, all accepted Breakout Sessions and Invited Speakers will be featured on the symposium website and included in the official event program.
• Speaker Registration Deadline: 
  • All hosts and invited speakers must register for the symposium, without exception. 
  • Hosts are responsible for ensuring that all invited speakers complete their registration before August 5th.
• Complimentary Tickets for Hosts & Invited Breakout Speakers:
  • Hosts are encouraged to invite ecosystem experts and thought leaders to contribute to their discussion. 
  • You will receive a discount code for up to three (3) complimentary registrations if your Breakout is accepted into the program. 
  • Additional invited speakers will be able to register for the Earlybird Rate even if the Earlybird deadline has passed. 

To complete your Breakout Session proposal, applicants will be asked to provide:

• Proposed breakout session title
• Detailed session description (maximum 500 words), including:
  • The purpose and objectives of the session
  • The intended audience
  • The proposed format (e.g., facilitated discussion, panel discussion, Q&A, short presentations, workshop)
  • Key questions, challenges, or topics that will be explored
  • Expected outcomes, recommendations, or next steps participants can take away from the discussion
• Names and contact information for confirmed or invited speakers who are expected to contribute to the discussion
• Host contact information 

• Breakout session opportunities are limited. Proposals will be evaluated based on their relevance, quality, originality, diversity of perspectives, and overall contribution to the symposium program.
• While all submissions undergo the same review process, CRC Symposium sponsors and exhibitors will receive priority consideration during program development.
• In addition to priority consideration, sponsors benefit from enhanced visibility throughout the event. 
• Organizations interested in maximizing their visibility and engagement at CRC 2026 are encouraged to explore our Exhibitor & Sponsorship opportunities.
