2008 BWA Expo: Calling All Experts! |
|
We are looking for Experts to host discussion tables on topics of interest to professional communicators. Some of this year's topics are listed below (see last year's topics for more ideas). You must have demonstrated proficiency in the subject area you choose to qualify as an Expert. We can use up to three Experts per subject area.
The format for the Experts Sessions is casual and fun; no advance preparation or formal presentations are required. As an Expert, you simply agree to be available for one or more 30-minute sessions to answer guests' questions in a relaxed setting. We do ask that you come up with one or more "hot" issues or problem areas that you're willing to address, just to start the discussion at your table and to provide a focus. Each Expert table has chairs for Expo guests to stop by, hear what you have to say, and ask questions as they enjoy their drinks and appetizers.
Space is limited and will be filled on a first-come basis, with priority given to BWA members. The first deadline for member signup is August 1, 2008. After August 1, any remaining slots will be offered to nonmembers in the community.
We are tentatively planning several concurrent presentations in four time periods (sessions):
To sign up, send the following information to Mary Headley,
headley80503 at comcast.net with "Expo Expert" in the Subject field:
- Your Expert subject area
- Your topic or "hot"
issue for discussion in this subject area
- A brief description of your
accomplishments in this subject area
- Any times between 6 and 9 p.m. you are
*not* available
