Speaker Expectations
We invite you to take a minute to review the Guidelines and Submission Criteria for the Leadership Forum. You should understand what is expected of you as a speaker for the conference as this will help focus your presentation and meet the audience’s expectations.

With this in mind, we have a few notes which are worth keeping in mind as you develop your talk:

• The proposed outline you submit now must match the talk you actually present at the conference.
• We suggest that you commit at least 20 hours to prepare for your session.
• We strongly encourage that you rehearse the delivery of your session for it to be effective; preferably in front of your peers.
  • One tip is to video tape yourself speaking and then review it.
  • Check your pacing and timing.
• Make sure you have all the necessary links, pictures, movies and content locally stored on your computer. We cannot guarantee an internet connection at the location.
• Your presentation materials must be completed and submitted to us four weeks before the conference date.
