Our approach to content curation

FACTS is built on quality, not quantity. Every session plays a pivotal role in shaping the overall event experience for our attendees. We ask all applicants to focus on developing high-quality, future-focussed proposals that align with the challenges and opportunities facing the corporate travel industry.

We encourage proposals that:

Reflect current industry challenges and opportunities
Deliver clear, practical value for attendees
Represent diverse perspectives across speakers and topics

To support a strong program, submissions should include:

Panel or presentation formats with engaging delivery
A mix of perspectives and speaker backgrounds
Content suitable for a range of experience levels

Selection process

All presentation proposals go through a double-blind peer review process.

Proposals are assessed by a Peer Review Council made up of:

Business travel and events industry experts
Representatives from FACTS and/or the GBTA AU Board and membership

FACTS and GBTA staff do not review or score submissions.

Final selections are made following a full review and discussion by the Council.

Proposals are evaluated against the following criteria:

Relevance to current business travel and events landscape (30%)
Strength of session title and description (25%)
Clear, actionable takeaways (20%)
