Conference Submission Review Process

Conference abstract submissions are reviewed and vetted by RAPID + TCT Event Advisors, which is made up of the top technical experts representing the manufacturing industry, academic institutions, and government agencies. Their decision to accept or decline is final. 
While all commercial presentations will be rejected, customer applications are encouraged and should be submitted by the end user.

Conference abstracts will be reviewed and scored against the following criteria:

1. Originality - How original or novel is the information contained in the presentation? Are there innovative applications, ground-breaking technology and cutting-edge research presented? Does the presentation challenge the status quo or accepted norms? Originality is not only in the content. You cannot have presented this paper outside of your own business anywhere else prior to RAPID + TCT 2024.
2. Impartiality - Submission should be impartial and non-commercial in nature. Sales presentations will be rejected. The RAPID + TCT Conference Delegate attends our highly technical Additive Manufacturing conference at a significant price point, so we work hard to ensure the content is non-commercial.
3. Objectives - What does the presentation seek to get across to the audience. What are the aims of the presentation? What will it address? What will be covered? Be clear on the elements you are going to present so we can make a valued judgement on the content of your presentation.
4. Audience - How many people will be interested in hearing this presentation? If you are presenting on a niche topic, that may preclude us from accepting it. Submissions that appeal to a greater audience may have a greater chance of being selected.
5. Technical Information - Our audience is highly intelligent and tech literate, if you need to delve into the technical to get your point across then please do so – depth of explanation and technical detail is highly prized by our audience.
6. Learning Objectives - Have you been clear with the audience’s learning objectives? What will the audience walk away having learned by attending your presentation?
