  3. Presenters will be well rehearsed and professional in their delivery.

  4. Presentations should be evidence based, innovative, and applicable across organizations and organization types.

  5. Presentations should clearly convey how the content relates to and can be applied by delegates.

  6. Presentations should not be a sales pitch of a service or product.

Fees and Expense Reimbursement
