Presentation Format (Non-Lecture)
Given that this event is a hands-on, learning, educational, and networking experience, we would request that you keep this format in mind. Our audiences have consistently requested and have come to expect presentations that include a significant amount of audience interaction and participation through a variety of adult education and interaction techniques.
Content of Presentation
We respectfully request that your presentation is non-biased and does not include selling or promotion, of any nature, regarding a particular product or service represented by you or your company. Experience has shown that our audiences are strongly dissuaded by this type of approach and it does not promote the main purpose of this event, which is education and networking. You are most welcome, and we encourage you to come early and stay after your session, to network with attendees.
