Do you have an educational session topic you would like to see ISAE offer?

All ISAE members and industry leaders are invited and encouraged to submit education session proposals for the various types of programs ISAE offers throughout the year. Please feel free to forward to non-ISAE industry experts who you feel would be good presenter options for ISAE.

Audience

ISAE’s primary membership demographic represents professionals of all levels employed by a variety of nonprofit associations headquartered across the state of Indiana. Our membership also includes those companies that provide a product or service to the association community. These companies (known as supplier members) include hotels, visitors’ bureaus, communication and marketing companies, as well as a variety of other vendor categories.

What You Need to Know

  1. The ISAE Professional Development Committee works hard each year to slate education and preference will be given to those presenters who fall in line with their scope of education for the year, or the annual convention.
  2. There are a limited number of presentation slots; not all submissions will be selected.
  3. ISAE provides a basic AV set-up for each session including the following: screen, projector, laptop and microphones. If any additional AV is required for the presentation, this must be discussed with ISAE staff at time of submission.
  4. Keynotes and breakout sessions are typically 60 minutes, and luncheons/seminars/deep dives can range from 2–4 hours in length.
  5. If a PowerPoint presentation or handouts are to be used, ISAE must receive a copy prior to the event.
