The full program schedule will be posted online with your session description, photo, and bio if we have already received it. You can see if we have this content by viewing your session page. If you have not sent us your bio or photo, please do so by Friday, June 13th.
You can submit your bio and headshot in the Speaker Agreement or by emailing the office at [email protected].
Presentation Guidelines
We have created a Summit 2025 Powerpoint template for you to use. Please save your presentation as “Last name-Title”. PowerPoint and PDF files are preferred. Please submit your PowerPoint presentation and/or supplemental resources by Friday, August 1st.
If you would like hard copy handouts available for attendees, you must provide them yourself.
Handout Key Elements:
The length of the handouts should match the length and complexity of the presentation. A short presentation of 10 to 15 minutes may require only one to three pages of handout material. Longer presentations of an hour or more may call for four to six pages or more of handout material.
To support a greener and more sustainable conference practices, we will not provide hard copies of your presentation materials; instead, these materials will be posted online for registrants’ use before and after the conference.
Please contact [email protected] with any questions or changes to your session. We will do our best to accommodate changes but please note that not all adjustments will be possible.
Changes will be processed on a weekly basis and the aasp office will follow-up via email once the change is complete. Please note that if you are adding a speaker in addition to the speakers already confirmed, they will not be eligible for the speaker discount.
The standard AV package includes a podium, wired microphone, one wireless Lavaliere microphone, slide advancer, laptop computer, projector and screen. A wireless internet connection will also be available. Your presentation will be pre-loaded on the provided laptop computer. If you anticipate additional AV needs please email requests to [email protected] for consideration.
