Speakers at AHLA conferences are expected to provide a current, practical, and quality oral presentation, PowerPoint presentation, with an accompanying paper. The detailed paper and practical take-aways turned in by speakers are what distinguish our conferences from those of our competitors. In addition, many states review the materials and often will not grant approval of sessions that do not meet their material requirements. The Association encourages speakers to provide practical take-aways, such as sample contract language, draft policies, or checklist as a part of their written materials. Please indicate what type of take-aways you anticipate providing.
