• Present your expertise on a key topic to 100s of speech and feeding professionals around the world
• Grow your network across the globe

• Build partnerships with other speech and feeding professionals
• Complimentary access to all conference sessions
• Exclusive speaker "swag"

We're looking for:

• Multidisciplinary, diverse speakers and topics: we welcome presentations from first-time speakers, professional experts, and from everyone in between! Whatever your speech and feeding background and experience, we prefer hearing about new approaches than about tried-and-tested techniques. The educational value of the presentation is essential - thinly disguised sales pitches will not be selected.
•  
• Practical, hands-on applications -- interactive techniques over theory: we encourage presentations that include case studies, interactive portions, hands-on techniques and applications. Participants want to hear your story as it pertains to your topic: think of lessons learned, strategies and recommendations that have you helped you grow personally and professionally. Always cite and reference your sources but do not create an academic, theoretical dissertation.
•  
• Audience awareness: TalkTools® Training is renowned for continuing education speech and feeding professionals can apply right away in their daily practice. Our conferences are no different. When developing your abstract, keep in mind that you will be speaking to an audience with various levels of expertise and experience. Your presentation doesn't have to be relevant to everyone, but it should be relevant to most people and shouldn't make too many assumptions about what people already know. Conference participants are anticipating a multidisciplinary, interactive, highly applicable training experience.

• • YES! If you have expertise and interest in topics that may fall in feeding, we encourage you to submit abstracts. We encourage speakers to submit SEPARATE topics.
