Have work that helps people make better decisions? Share it as a poster at the 2027 SDP Annual Conference.

We welcome poster proposals from across industries and disciplines:

Practitioners and facilitators: Share methods and lessons from real decisions.

Executives and organizational leaders: Show how decision making has shaped your team or strategy.

We invite you to submit a poster proposal for the 2027 SDP Annual Conference & Workshops. Please submit complete proposals — full abstracts are required.

Once submitted, your proposal enters the review queue immediately. If additional information is needed, you will be contacted directly.

Tips for a Strong Submission

For All Submissions:

Lead with the "so what." Reviewers read many proposals. Open with why your topic matters and what attendees will walk away knowing or doing differently.
Be specific. Vague titles and abstracts are harder to evaluate. "How We Reduced Decision Cycle Time by 40% at a Fortune 500" is stronger than "Improving Organizational Decision-Making."
Connect to the theme. The strongest submissions speak directly to Clarity Amid Complexity: Better Decisions for a Dynamic World. Show how your work helps people decide better under uncertainty or change.
Write for a mixed audience. SDP attracts practitioners, researchers, and executives. Avoid jargon that only one group will recognize.
Your abstract doesn't have to be perfect. It can be edited or refined if your proposal is selected — clarity of idea matters more than polish at this stage.

For Posters

Think visually from the start. The best posters tell a clear story at a glance — one central finding or idea, supported by evidence.
Posters are conversation starters, not dissertations. Plan for a 2–3 minute verbal summary you can deliver to someone standing in front of it.
Outstanding posters are eligible for sponsored recognition and awards — make it count.
