Q: I have never presented at an IACP Conference before. What is expected of me?
A: IACP members invest a considerable amount of time and expense to attend the conference. For these reasons, IACP works hard to ensure each and every event at the conference realizes its full potential. Our members expect:

• Presenters will prepare for their event prior to arrival.
• Presenters have a significant knowledge and expertise of the subject area, and have sufficient presentation skills to effectively communicate such knowledge.
• Presenters will engage the audience.
• Presenters will not engage in commercial presentations of their organization.
• Presenters will be conscious of the time limitation of their presentation.
• Presenters will not simply read directly from written statements.
• Presenters understand that materials provided for an IACP event become the property of the IACP (for placement on www.theiacp.org, www.theiacpconference.org, or use in other educational activities of the association).
