Moderator and Speaker Information
Information for Plenary Session Moderators and Speakers
What is a Plenary Session?
The premier educational sessions of the meeting; topics are presented in didactic format to the Annual Meeting attendance as a whole.
As moderator, you are responsible for…
Working with confirmed speakers to develop specific session content. Once they are all confirmed, you will be notified via e-mail. You should contact the speakers well before the meeting to ensure that their presentations fit the learning objectives and that there is a minimum of overlapping information within the presentations. You will also be responsible for verifying that the session content is free of commercial bias. Your staff liaison can organize a conference call for the session participants if you would like.
Assisting the staff liaison assigned to your session with the collection of necessary materials from your speakers. The timely collection of disclosure statements, handouts, and audio-visual presentations is essential to the overall success of your session and your assistance in this area will greatly increase their likelihood.
On-site management of your session. It will be your job to make introductory announcements, to introduce your speakers, and to ensure that they and your session begin and end on time.
As a speaker, you are responsible for…
Development of a presentation appropriate to the specific topic identified. Your presentation should be designed for the target audience: clinicians, researchers, trainees/students and allied health professionals, and should contribute directly to the learning objective identified for your presentation. You are also responsible for providing balanced information that is free of commercial bias
Attendance at the entire session. To help ensure that the session runs smoothly, your presence is required for its entire duration. We ask our speakers to arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to session starting time.
