Call For Presenters InfoComm 2012
Inspire. Promote. Connect.
Are you ready to step onto the presenters' stage for the AV industry? Here's how:
- Explore the hot topics, like emerging technologies, to find out how your insights fit into the most-wanted training list.
- Stop. Is your proposal product-specific? If so, you want Manufacturer Training opportunities, not InfoComm Academy® training. Contact Laura Reed to start that process. If you have a vendor-neutral training idea, continue to step 3.
- Choose the length and difficulty level of your course. See below for guidance.
- Look through the Certified Technology Specialist™ (CTS®) job task content areas and zero in on which of these areas your proposal will address.
- Submit a proposal, before September 16, 2011, for each of your ideas.
When Do You Get the News?
After you submit your proposal, the InfoComm International Professional Education and Training Committee will review the submittals. You will be notified in January 2012 if you are selected to present at InfoComm 2012, June 9-15, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
