Best practices • Follow • The • Directions
“Must Haves” ≠ ”Only Haves” • Check the must haves • Topics are broad • They are not limits
Don’t worry about: • Knowing exactly who your speakers are • Developing the world’s most innovative format
Focus on: • The Takeaways • The Description • The Title
Takeaways • What will your audience take from this? • What can they tell their bosses? • How will they meet their personal BoK objectives?
Magic words! Apply Assess Combine Compare Compile Compute Create Demonstrate Describe Design Discuss Explain Identify List Locate Plan Predict Rate Revise Select State Summarize Write Analyze
AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID Know Learn Become aware of Understand Appreciate Become familiar with Think about Figure out Use “Will be able to”
Sell your program • Avoid histories • Why would members be excited to attend? • Focus on positive outcomes • What’s unique about your program? • 100 words!
“I only read the titles” • What will you cover? • Who is this for? • What is your tone?
Let’s talk about money • It’s ok to ask • Be reasonable: • $500 for a program of general interest vs • $2500 for a program focusing on niche topics
And the rest….. • Target audience – who will be at AALL? • Length – 1 hour or 2.5? • Number of speakers – most programs don’t need 5 • Actual speakers vs descriptions – you can use both • Format of your program – add a little something • Special needs or equipment?
A happy AMPC reviewer • There are three takeaways • They are clearly written • The description is clear • Members would be really interested • Costs/equipment needs are clear • Format works for this audience • Easy to assign numbers!
