Selection Criteria
The Brasov Forum will select new Fellows based the availability of spaces in the program, achieving a compelling mix of topics and viewpoints, and the submission meeting the requirements below.
Brasov Forum is not a 101-leve training event, so presentation topics must present original work, sound evidence and argument, or take on advanced topics with a clear, collaborative angle.
Topics must clearly link to at least one Forum “current” or theme (see above) including Technology and Engineering, Business and Adoption, or Legal, Ethics, and Public Policy.
Sessions must include actionable takeaways and insights for an audience of executives and leaders in the field, and are not designed for junior or mid-level participants.
Fellows must agree to a zero vendor pitch or sales policy. We hope that your fellowship leads to opportunity for you or your organization, but the objective here is to share knowledge.
