Tips for your prESENTATION
Content is king – If you really want to impress the audience, pack your presentation with powerful content.
Make it compelling – Our audience is composed of administrators, support staff, clinicians, direct caregivers, and industry partners. Learning levels are diverse, with the majority of participants being high level/theoretical to mid-level/practical.
Be authentic and vulnerable – Don’t be afraid to speak of failure as well as success.
Customize – Be sure your content truly speaks to the association audience and is customized to their unique situations.
Knowledge sharing is the most effective marketing – Sales pitches disguised as education will result in poor ratings and lost opportunities.
NOTE: Presentations must be educational. We understand that some of our speakers wish to network with attendees and showcase their services, but we kindly ask that your presentation not be a sales pitch. Networking time will be made available to speakers, sponsors, and attendees for this purpose. We appreciate your cooperation.
Watch your e-mail for online and in person networking opportunities throughout 2020
Due to concerns of the coronavirus (COVID-19), and in accordance with health guidance from the CDC, WHO, and other state and federal health authorities, we have decided to cancel the New England Home Care & Hospice Conference and Trade Show scheduled for May 13-15 in Newport, Rhode Island. It is increasingly clear that although we hope and pray for the situation to improve by mid-May, we cannot guarantee the health and safety of attendees, resort employees, local residents or our staff. Speakers, exhibitors and attendees who had already registered have been contacted with information regarding booth contracts, registrations and refunds. Please contact info@nehcc.com for immediate concerns.
The good news is, while you are focused on the task at hand, we will explore other ways to evolve the educational and networking aspects of the conference so we can connect with you throughout the year. This is an opportunity for us to unite our community in new ways; to learn, to connect, and to grow… together. Please watch for additional information coming soon.
