Call for Presentations

General Information

LeadingAge Iowa is seeking speakers who:

Are qualified in the subject matter.
Experienced professionals, experts in their field.
Engage the audience and encourage active participation (examples: show-of-hands voting; discuss with neighbor or in small groups; use case studies). Each presentation should provide 2-4 opportunities for attendees to think, to write and/or to share.
Understand that attendees are seeking to understand what your research and data mean to them and how it is applicable to their organization.
Help attendees uncover what the content means.
Create opportunities to discuss how to apply the content (example: "what one idea shared today are you going to try?").
Connect to the attendees' emotions.
See the attendees as co-creators along with you, not simply as a consumer of your information.
Focus on what is in the best interest of the attendees for your session.

Proposals will be considered for a variety of virtual and in-person events including both conferences, workshops, webinars and other education content.

Please Note:

Incomplete submissions will not be considered.
Each presenter is limited to three proposals and each topic submitted must have its own complete application.
Please do not complete the form in all-caps or use bullet points in your answers. Your assistance is appreciated.
