I’ve long been amazed at the talent within the membership of IABC. It’s the main reason I continue to be involved; the people. I’ve learned a lot over the years from IABC people and gained everything from great jobs to important friendships.
One way I give back is through regular speaking for IABC and other organizations such as Advanced Learning Institute. I love to teach; there is nothing quite like having a conversation with enthusiastic students in a workshop. It’s a real passion and I’m lucky I get regular chances to indulge. Every time I teach at a conference I’m impressed by the caliber of the other speakers.
I encourage anyone with experiences, expertise, or stories to share to submit a presentation proposal for IABC’s 2016 World Conference in New Orleans, June 5-8. This will be the 10-year anniversary of the last IABC World Conference in that iconic city. That’s right, the last time we were there was on the heels of Katrina. Things are pretty different now as New Orleans establishes itself as a leader in innovation.
Following a system of improved governance standards set by the IABC International Executive Board and implemented by past chair, Preston Lewis, the 2015 World Conference heralded a democratic process of submission and evaluation which resulted in high marks for conference content at this year’s event. As the 2016 chair of the Program Advisory Committee, I’ve brought together a team of 30 communicators from 15 different time zones, and we’ll use the same process to attempt to repeat those high scores in 2016.
I hope you can hop on our train as we work to bring the very highest caliber of content to IABC’s premier development event. The deadline is Wednesday, September 30. So, submit your presentation proposal today!
