Call for Keynote, Plenary Conference Speakers

Educational Topics

ACHCA’s mission supports being the catalyst for excellence in post-acute and aging services leadership. As such, the goal for ACHCA’s conferences is to provide advanced leadership education. Keynote and plenary speakers are encouraged to submit session topics that are relevant to long term care leadership development and education.

Audience:

ACHCA represents administrators and other executives across the continuum of long-term healthcare and aging services. Winter Marketplace draws approximately 250 attendees and the Convocation draws approximately 400 attendees. Conference participants include facility administrators, chief executives, owners, presidents, corporate managers, directors of nursing, academics and educators, consultants, researchers and other leaders (and future leaders) in health services administration.

Process:

Keynote and Plenary speaker applications will be reviewed by ACHCA Staff and the ACHCA Education Committee for the following criteria and must meet selection criteria:

·  Does the proposed topic have an interest to a broad audience?

·  Does the presentation content have relevance across the continuum of care (e.g. SNF, AL, etc.)?

·  Does the session have measurable/realistic/relevant learning objectives?

·  Is the presentation description and related objectives free of product promotion?

·  Is the speaker’s honorarium and/or travel expense feasible within ACHCA’s budget?

·  Does the speaker have national speaking experience and/or name recognition as an industry expert?

Speaker applicants will be notified via e-mail of application acceptance once the Education Committee has made its review/determination but no later than five months prior to each conference. Questions about the completion of this application may be directed to Elizabeth Lollis by email at mailto: or by phone at 202-470-5673. Please note that information regarding speaker acceptance will not be able to communicate by phone or email until the selection process is completed.

Speakers selected as a keynote or plenary speaker will be asked to submit a detailed outline of the presentation, a signed contractual letter, disclosure statement, an article for ACHCA’s Long Term Care Continuum newsletter for promotion of the program and audiovisual requirements.
