Speaker Expectations
AHLA conference attendees invest a considerable amount of time and money to attend our conferences. In order to best serve our attendees’ educational needs, AHLA’s volunteers and staff work hard to ensure each and every session at the conferences realizes its full potential. See our list of expectations.
Speaker Standards, Policies, and Guidelines
These standards and guidelines are intended to provide guidance to speakers of in-person conferences.
Planning Your Session
You have been chosen to speak and now it’s time to start planning your session – on your own, with a co-speaker, or on a panel. Here are some helpful tips on coordinating with your co-presenters, developing bullet points, and getting the word out about your presentation.
Planning Your Materials
AHLA strives to maintain readership and membership across the widest possible range of viewpoints involved in health law. The materials turned in by our speakers are what distinguish our conferences from those of our competitors. We've put together some examples of high-quality conference materials, tips on how to put together a great PowerPoint Presentation, and other additional information you'll need to know.
Presentation Delivery
The best presentations are often those that take time to engage the audience directly. For those presenting for the first time and our long-time presenters, here are some tips for delivering an effective presentation.
Logistics
AHLA staff will contact each speaker once they have been confirmed by a member of the planning committee. Specific logistical information will be sent at that time. Here are some important logistical items to keep in mind.
