  • Speakers must be available to present on any day of the conference.
  • Plenary and breakout sessions are generally 90 minutes long; some are 120 minutes long. Workshops are 3 hours long.
  • Speakers will be required to agree to meet deadlines for providing session descriptions, audiovisual requirements, and presentation materials. Failure to meet deadlines could result in disqualification.

  • Speakers who incorporate a sales theme or message and/or receive low audience evaluations will not be invited to present at future PACC events.
