The APDT Call for Shorts proposals are now open for the APDT 2013 Annual Educational Conference & Trade Show!
APDT Shorts are brief 45-minute presentations in a smaller setting than the large halls allowing you to speak to a smaller group of conference attendees.
We are looking for speaker proposals that support the APDT Mission and Vision Statements and cover new and timely topics. Do you have a unique idea for better training classes? A special skill, or perspective, that sets you apart? Do you specialize in something you think the APDT audience would benefit from? Visit this page to see the scope and range of topics at the 2013 conference.
Presenters will have access to a microphone, but no AV or presentation equipment will be provided. Your audience will be pet professionals, primarily trainers - not pet parents. This is a volunteer opportunity for any registered attendee who has an interesting topic to share. If you haven't presented at the APDT conference in the past, this is a great way to get exposure as well as for you to be discovered as a future speaker.
Requirements of Presenting APDT Shorts
- 45 minutes.
- No PowerPoint or video.
- Must be registered for at least one day of conference when shorts will be presented (Thursday, October 24 and Friday, October 25).
- Topics and content should be targeted to pet professionals, not pet parents.
- Selected presenters must sign an agreement outlining the date, time, and place of presentation.
- Selected presenters must submit a 1 page presentation outline for inclusion on the online conference presentation download area.
- Speakers must maintain an educational and professional development focus in presentations, and eliminate sales messages.
