EDUCATIONAL SESSION PRESENTER INFORMATION

Session Edits Requested by July 9, 2010

If you need to make changes to your session title, description, or presenters, please email Anne Munson, Director of Education and Membership Services, or call her at 434-245-8425, extension 235.

Conference Registration Required by August 2, 2010

All presenters are required to register for the Annual Conference either as a full or one-day attendee. Guest rates do not apply.

To register, visit the annual conference registration page and make sure to check the box online or in the PDF indicating your presenter status. It will qualify you for a NEW opportunity this year: as a thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge/expertise with your colleagues, we will be drawing for a free 2011 conference registration to go to one presenter.

And please don't forget to reserve your hotel stay as well... reservations completed by August 2 will be included in a drawing for the Sweet Suite upgrade!

PLEASE NOTE:

Individual presenter information will appear under their program listing online within a week after their conference registration is completed.
Programs with no institutional presenter registered by August 2 will be removed from the conference program and replaced with a program from our wait list. (Does not apply to Corporate Connections Sessions).
If budget year restrictions prevent you from registering by August 2, please contact Anne Munson for assistance.
If you are a presenting Business Partner that will be registered as part of your Booth Personnel, please contact Anne Munson for assistance.

Biographies/Handouts Needed by October 1, 2010

In order for your attendees to receive CPE (Continuing Professional Education) credits for attending your session, we are required by NASBA (National Association of State Boards of Accountancy) to collect a short biography and handout/presentation materials. Please submit these to Pam Grove, Educational Programs Assistant. We recommend submitting any materials as a PDF to keep them a manageable file size.

Your biography can be as short as a paragraph, but should include: your name; title; university; any educational degrees and the institutions that granted them; a brief description of your main job responsibilities; and a brief history of any previously held positions.

Your handout/session materials can be a draft, but eventually we hope to have a sponsored flash drive to load them on, to be given to conference attendees on-site. If you are a Business Partner and interested in sponsoring this flash drive, please contact Heather Brown.

Audiovisual Equipment

One LCD projector and screen will be provided for you in your room at no charge. Microphones will be provided if required by the room size.

If you have any other requirements, please contact the Broadmoor Hotel at 719-577-5775. They can provide other AV equipment, such as sound or a laptop, for a fee.

Presentation Location

Room set up will be 1/2 classroom style and 1/2 theater style. Room locations will be assigned in September.

Session Materials/Handouts

If you choose to bring handouts for your attendees, please "think green" and provide them in an 1-2 page abbreviated format to reduce paper waste. Based on previous years, we expect the attendance at each session to range from 25-50 attendees.

NEW On Site Process

This year, we ask that one presenter for each session stop by the registration desk prior to your session to pick up a materials packet, including:

A number to call for AV assistance
Session Evalution Forms (duplicate format will allow you to get immediate feedback on your presentation)
A CPE sign in sheet
An attendee count sheet

Your packet can be left in the room for our staff and Key Volunteers to pick up after your session.
