PowerPoint Presentations - Due by November 2, 2020 

Please send a copy of your final presentation in a PowerPoint and PDF format to events@secretariatcentral.com no later than November 2, 2020. Do not forget to include the required CFPC disclosure slide at the beginning of your session. Declarations must be verbalized at the start of your presentation.                                     

Speaker presentations will be made available to delegates in the PDF format in a private area of the OOA website after the conference. If you do not wish to have your presentation shared as a PDF post-conference, you must opt out by emailing events@secretariatcentral.com -- more importantly, please also let your audience know this during your presentation! Some delegates may be very interested in receiving the information after and are often disappointed to know it isn’t available. Video recordings of all presentations will be available to registrants after the conference.
