Speaker Guidelines
The following are criteria to assist in preparing for a possible presentation with SeaSPIN. If you have further questions, please contact our Vice President of Programs at programs@seattleispi.org.

Your biography of 100 words or less and presentation abstract of 200 words or less should be submitted to the Program Chair and President two weeks prior to the presentation date. This allows us to announce the upcoming presentation online and at various local events.
Think about the audience when creating your presentation, title, and abstract. Our audience is broad, including managers, coaches, trainers,consultants, students, academia, and more. Make the title attractive and not too obscure... and keep the abstract practical.
At least 1 week before the presentation, the presenter should supply any special requirements for the presentation. VGA Projector and white boards are already available.
Presentations should be limited to 1 hour in length.
Presenter should be prepared for a 30 minute Q&A period following the presentation. Alternatively, the speaker may encourage a more interactive session also.
The presentation should be educational or hands-on and devoid of business advertising or sales content.
The intent is to provide ideas and content usable by our audience in the course of their work or to provide techniques that do not involve additional purchases.
The presenter should provide a copy of the presentation slides for publishing on the website, ideally in PDF form.
From time to time, the board may seek to create alternative formats - such as panel discussions or joint meetings - so this document provides the standard format for typical presentations.
