Each year, ACS disseminates a Call for Presentations to our members and the general public who are interested in submitting educational session ideas for our Annual Conference & Competition, as well as for educational outreach to ACS members throughout the year.
ACS invites presentation proposals from qualified experts who meet the association’s criteria for educating cheesemakers, retailers, and other cheese industry professionals about best practices, new trends, research, and improving products and processes.
The Call for Presentations for our 2012 Conference & Competition is now closed. However, we welcome presentation ideas for future ACS conferences, as well as for educational outreach that can be offered online (via webinar) to ACS members at other times of the year.
Assess your fit for an ACS volunteer speaking position by answering these questions:
- Do you have experience presenting to audiences of 75 or more participants?
- Is your content fresh and highly relevant to cheese industry professionals or enthusiasts?
- Do you have broad experience as a presenter (working with and speaking to diverse audiences)?
- Are your sessions interactive? Would your audiences describe you as a dynamic presenter?
- Have you received audience evaluations (for sessions with 75 or more participants) demonstrating excellent ratings in the 80th percentile or above?
- If your answers to all five questions are “yes”, you meet ACS’s qualifications for a speaking position and are encouraged to apply.
To apply, simply complete the online form below, and a member of the ACS team will follow-up with you directly.
