Become A Speaker

 
How do I become a speaker?
If you are interested in speaking at the Illinois Workers' Comp Forum please email snorton@counciloned.com and describe the topic you wish to speak on. All speakers are chosen at the discretion of Council's product development team.

Can I attend the entire conference? Do I have to pay the registration fee?
As a faculty member of the Illinois Workers' Comp Forum you receive complimentary registration for the main conference event. If you would like to attend a particular optional workshop please contact Sam Norton at 704-258-8912 or snorton@counciloned.com. Council reserves the right to limit access to optional workshops to paying attendees, if space limitations are exceeded.

What do I need to prepare for my presentation?
You will need to prepare a PowerPoint presentation covering the key points of your session. You will need to submit this PowerPoint presentation (in addition to any supplementary documentation you would like delegates to receive for your presentation) approximately eight weeks before the conference. If you have not submitted your materials by this date, it is your responsibility to provide sufficient copies of your presentation for delegates on the day of your presentation. Council will not be responsible for the cost of copying or shipping presentations that are late.

Can I make copies of my presentation at the hotel?
While the conference hotel does have a business center on-site, Council will not be responsible for the cost of any copies.

Where can I find an outline of my presentation? Do I have to speak to the description in the brochure?
An outline of your presentation can be found on the website under "Conference Agenda." Please contact Sam Norton at 704-258-8912 or snorton@counciloned.com if you have any questions regarding the content or scope of your presentation. Please keep in mind that delegates have registered for Illinois Workers' Comp Forum based on the information provided to them on this website and in our marketing brochure. They will expect all speakers to address the topics outlined in the agenda.

When should I arrive at the conference hotel?
If you do not anticipate attending the entire conference, it is suggested that you arrive at the hotel at the beginning of the refreshment break before your session.

What should I do when I get there? Where do I go?
After you have checked into the hotel (if you are staying over), please go directly to the Illinois Workers' Comp Registration Desk to register. At that time you will receive a registration pack, conference proceedings and directions to your session.

Who should I contact with other questions before the conference?
If you have any questions regarding your presentation please contact Sam Norton at 704-258-8912 or snorton@counciloned.com.
