Carolinas & New South Chapters - Speaker Topic Submissions |
Speaker Selection Process
Selection Criteria:
1. Complete proposals involving corporate and professional member teams and/or case study examples will receive top priority consideration. Incomplete proposals (i.e. Company Member To-Be-Determined) may not receive consideration.
2. The number of Speakers from the same Company (corporate or professional), may be limited where necessary.
3. An effort will be made to ensure there is fair representation of speakers from the Chapters.
4. Individual submissions (i.e. a single presenter) are welcome, provided a full description is included. The Planning Committee may combine speakers or add Corporate member panelists. Presenters will be notified of suggested combinations for approval.
5. Conference sponsorship is appreciated, but will not ensure an organization or individual is selected as a speaker.
6. Preference will be given to Corporate and Professionals that are members of the Carolinas and New South Chapters over members from other Chapters of The ESOP Association.
Speaker Policies & Procedures:
1. Speakers are asked to respect the educational intent of our program and avoid sales pitches for particular products or services.
2. A speaker who is unable to make the presentation must notify Beverly Clapp (864-272-6202) immediately. The Planning Committee will select an alternate presenter. Unapproved substitutions of presenters will result in suspension of both individuals from speaking at the next conference.
3. A speaker may not include additional people on their presentation without prior approval. Unapproved additions will result in all individuals being suspended from speaking at the next conference.
4. It is highly recommended that minimal changes to presentation content be made after submitting the slide deck for publication. Attendees are usually dissatisfied when they do not have access to correct or complete content.
5. Be cognizant of a one hour presentation time slot and prepare materials to ensure that you have time to cover your topic. Poor feedback is frequently given to presenters that run out of time or do not cover the topic as described.
6. Speaking slots are limited. If you do not plan to register and participate in the conference, please do not submit a proposal. The Planning Committee reserves the benefit of speaking to members interested in attending.
