Committee Description

The conference committee is newly formed each year to plan for and implement the annual SFBTA conference. The Conference Chair/Co-Chair is responsible for establishing the committee each year, with the help of the President of the Board and with approval of the Board. The committee works to facilitate the workshop proposal submission process, conference agenda and programme, advertising, technology, registration, sponsorship, research/survey needs, welcome preparations and any other needs. It is preferable but not necessary for a Conference Chair or Co-Chair to be a Board Member of the SFBTA. The Chair/Co-Chair reports to the Board on a regular basis. Submissions for interest in conference planning for the next conference planning year are always welcome.

Would You Like to Join the Conference Committee?

Any current member of the SFBTA with an interest in event planning, organization, and creating meaningful conference experiences is welcome to apply.

All interested parties are subject to an interview to ensure the committee is a good fit. Please contact us at board@sfbta.org
