The SBIR/STTR Program is a valuable resource for small businesses. But what is it, exactly? How does a company apply for one? Which type is better for your client? Which agencies participate? What are your clients in for? The answers to these questions have rippling impacts on a business, from the front office to the back office, from operations to human resources to finance. There are many pitfalls to be aware of, and best practices are usually kept quiet due to a lack of networking opportunities available.
We'll start by building a basic understanding of the SBIR/STTR Program: the regulatory foundation in the FAR, the SBA's role, and the participating agencies. Then we'll dive deeper and discuss how small businesses can research government needs, build a responsive proposal, and prepare their organization for the award. We'll share real-world examples, both positive and negative, to help you support your clients through this rewarding, and sometimes troublesome, program.

Presented at LMA 2016, the presentation covers the current sate of lateral partner hiring and examines several ways to improve the success rate in lateral partner hires.
Trade Secrets Your Agency Isn't SharingSandra Fathi
If you have never worked in a PR agency, their doings can seem mysterious. How does the agency get all of that coverage for their clients? Is it because of exclusive relationships with publications? Is it because they meet reporters for drinks or play golf together? What is the black magic that commands such high retainers? If you haven't been inside an agency, and your company expects you to hire and manage one, it can be intimidating. Agencies prefer to adopt a mystique about how they work because they think that keeping you in the dark will give them the upper hand in negotiations. However, the more you know about agency operations, the better results you achieve for your company and the more value you extract from your agency. In this session, we'll review models of agency operations and discuss the factors you need to know when engaging an agency.
We'll discuss:
Comparing apples to apples: how to compare agencies during the dreaded RFP process
How to see through the bull@#*%: Relationships don't mean a thing if they don't know how to tell your story
How to avoid the bait and switch: meet your team—not just the sales team—during the hiring process
How to negotiate guaranteed results into your agency agreement
How to save time and money—dictate how your hours should and shouldn't be spent in a retainer relationship
How to set yourself up for success: what you need to do to educate your new partner

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
