ACPE COMPLIANCE & GUIDELINES
In developing your presentation, please reference the following guidelines to ensure that your presentation complies with ACPE standards.
Event Venue and Accommodations
All continuing education sessions will be held at the Crowne Plaza Baton Rouge. LPA will make accommodations for presenters, as agreed upon in the Honorarium Policy and Speaker Agreements. Any additional requests should be communicated no later than
4 weeks prior to the event so our staff may assist in meeting your requests to be the best of our ability.
Tips to Keep Your Audience Engaged
- Learn the Content: Familiarity with the content allows a speaker to focus on presenting, rather than trying to remember the points to make. To minimize worry about forgetting elements of the presentation, include notes
in your presentation file and have a printout of your script or talking points.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Speakers should practice their content delivery in the environment in which they will deliver it. To make speakers more comfortable, ask colleagues, roommates, or family to sit in front so they can
present to familiar faces.
- Understand the Tools: If utilizing live polling tools (digital, flash cards, etc.), practice with the tools to feel comfortable.
- Speak Up: Check audio levels before presenting, but also make sure to breathe at regular intervals to speak audibly and clearly. Maintaining a clear, even tone throughout the presentation will allow the audience to hear
without strain.
- Make Eye Contact: Make eye contact with audience members to make them feel engaged.
- Don’t Fear Mistakes: Humans make mistakes, even during presentations. Realize that flubs happen and they won’t derail your presentation – unless you let them. Just keep going in your planned presentation and remember, the
audience is forgiving.
- Be Prepared: During the presentation, have a glass of water nearby to sip as needed. Also, keep handy a printout of your slides or notes in case you need to refer to them.
