Innovation and entrepreneurship exist throughout every field of study. Therefore, at this conference we seek to facilitate discourse on the effectiveness of developmental relationships for fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. The term ‘developmental relationships’ includes, but is not limited to, mentoring, coaching, networking, and sponsorship.
We are particularly keen to receive proposals that: (a) are informative and relevant to the term ''''developmental relationships''''; (b) are supported by theory and research; and (c) demonstrate concepts and ideas that are applicable to the development of innovative and entrepreneurial practices.
We are interested in hosting presentations based on the topics of mentoring, coaching, and leadership, within the following strands: entrepreneurship, business, STEM (science, technology, engineering, & mathematics), education, arts, humanities, health sciences, and others. We seek proposals that accomplish the following: Build on the knowledge base of existing literature in the field of developmental relationships Demonstrate the effectiveness of existing mentoring programs Propose a methodology or evaluation model for developmental relationships Suggest new ideas and best practices for successful developmental relationships Promote diversity, inclusion, and cross-cultural relationships Introduce concepts and ideas to promote and develop innovative and entrepreneurial practices Presentation Requirements Presenters in the 2018 conference must meet the following requirements for their session (please read these carefully, as they are mandatory for all presenters):
Individual/Panel Sessions Presentation: Presenters are assigned a 45-minute slot; we suggest a TED Talk format for the first 30 minutes of the presentation, 10 minutes for Q&A, and 5 minutes for the session's evaluation.
