Hello! Speaking at Connect offers you the opportunity to highlight your knowledge and share your expertise with the contractor attendees. These sixty-minute, information-filled sessions provide awareness, familiarity and the means for heightening your company’s exposure.

Presentations are to follow a non-sales-oriented format; company slides containing contact information are permitted at the end of each presentation. The supplying of presentation summary hand-outs prior to your session is encouraged as is the provision of non-sales oriented related publications, videos, workbooks and appropriate links that support subject matter.

Sessions must be structured to:
  • Heighten awareness of industry trends
  • Provide solutions to Contractors’ “pain points”
  • Expand Contractors’ knowledge and resources
  • Increase Contractors’ comfort levels with today’s business challenges
Title: This is an attendee’s first impression of your presentation. Is it informative, engaging and compelling? Does it accurately reflect the session topic? Is it short and to the point?(Required.)
Session Description: A well‐written session description clearly identifies the purpose and intent of the session. It also piques the interest of the attendee and encourages them to attend. This information will be used when marketing the course to potential attendees. An effective session description should:
  • Define the content and the learner outcomes (what will they learn)
  • Clarify the relevancy of the topic (why they need to know it)
  • Highlight the benefits of attending the session (how they will apply the information in their current role)
(Required.)
Learning Objectives: Learning objectives must be able to fulfill the following proposition - “upon completion of this session, attendees will know how to…”. These vital components may begin with action verbs such as:
  • Define
  • Associate

  • Apply
  • Recognize
