Greenhouse Details and Guidelines
Greenhouse sessions must align with the following guidelines:
- Deliver content in a concise 15 to 20 minute format, with time built in for audience Q&A.
- Begin and conclude on schedule.
- Remain educational in nature, free of sales pitches.
- Spotlight innovative successes from Texas cities
- Offer insight into relevant state and federal programs.
- Offer practical examples and actionable takeaways for city officials.
Is the TML Greenhouse Right for You?
We’re seeking content-rich sessions of 30 minutes or less that focus on issues and programs impacting Texas cities. Presentations should be educational and informative in nature, not promotional.
TML Conference attendees value speakers who reflect the diversity of Texas and especially appreciate learning directly from their peers in Texas cities.
Greenhouse presentations should deliver original, meaningful content designed to help city officials learn, grow, and lead effectively. If your primary objective is a product demonstration, we’re happy to help you explore other sponsorship opportunities that may be a better fit.
