Presentation Reminders:

Please keep in mind the participants’ take-aways from the session. These do not need to be physical items, but rather ideas or perspectives that participants can act on upon returning to their offices.
Speakers are asked to keep their prepared remarks to 30-40 minutes, allowing time for discussion or workshop-type activities.
Please consider submitting resources to our curated list of resources for the Summit. We are deploying flipped-classroom pedagogy so participants have a good foundation on which to gain knowledge during the Summit – allowing speakers to present on more advanced ideas and areas of practice. Please submit any resources you would like posted on http://bit.ly/2017SOLFLIPPED by May 31, 2017.

Slides: If you plan to utilize slides, please use the UPCEA template (see attached). Slides will be uploaded to your session room laptop and the conference mobile app.

Note: if you will not utilize slides, please email Julie Uranis at juranis@upcea.edu and we’ll instead have a welcome slide in the room noting presenter/moderator names and session title.

Slides are due by May 31, 2017 in order to guarantee they will be available to attendees prior to the conference. Please upload your slides to our Summit for Online Leadership Google Drive folder. Please paste this link in your browser to access the google drive folder:

Please keep an eye out for more information on the mobile app as we get closer to the conference.
