Summary The Process for Choosing Presentations – • Reviewed evaluations for sessions and speakers from last year. • Reviewed and noted any volunteer names and/or presentation for which they volunteered to speak. • Reviewed statistics on sessions with highest/lowest attendance. • Asked AWG for input and suggestions for topics and speakers. • Measured all of this against – what are “hot topics”, regulations and/or guidance that needs to get to the field and any changes in process/systems that needs to be communicated.
Conference Progress Where Are We in the Process? • With the help of the Nov AWG meeting, we will have an approved final draft. • Invitations will be sent out to presenters beginning on Wednesday of this week. • Each speaker will receive a copy of the timelines that we will be strictly adhering to this year. • Each speaker will get a speakers packet with materials to fax and email back. • Each speaker will also get a sample template and information on how to be a successful presenter at the UBO/UBU Conference

Conference Calendar and Deadlines • Speakers will be given approximately two weeks to respond letting us know they are interested in speaking. • All faxed and emailed materials (minus presentation) need to be sent back in the two week timeframe. • We are asking that presentations be send in before Christmas.
