Presenter requirements:
● Presenters must have demonstrated expertise in their subject area and be prepared to teach and challenge conference attendees.
● Presenters must share presentation slides for distribution to attendees and CEANY members
● All presenters must register for the CEANY 2022 Conference.

Session requirements:
● Sessions will be offered in a 60 minute format with a 15 minute break between sessions.  Sessions should be dynamic, interactive, and action-oriented. Ideally, all participants can transform newly acquired knowledge into action.
● We recommend sessions have an interactive activity to engage the audience.
● Telling the story at the presenter’s campus is important, but it is also important to be able to extract lessons learned so attendees know how to apply what they’ve heard- a “how to” piece of the session is helpful.
● The following components make up each session:
● Title of Your Presentation: Up to 10 words that accurately describe your session.
● Presentation Description: Up to 50 words that describe your session for the conference. This short description should clearly, persuasively and accurately tell attendees what to expect from your session. Attendees should be able to readily determine the scope and level of the session and its appropriateness for their needs.
● Full Presentation Description: Up to 250-word overview and outline of your session that explains session content in more detail. This information is will ensure that your session is well understood by the Conference Committee.
● Three Key Takeaways: Three anticipated learning objectives for participants.
● Support Materials: Note here what materials you will use to support participant learning (i.e. PowerPoint presentation, hand-outs, etc.)
