Speaking at a Conference
Make an impact by submitting a paper and presenting your achievements at the annual conference or a workshop. Presenting a paper enhances your professional credentials and gives your organisation recognition for its accomplishments. A special speaker registration package is available.
The speaker award programme recognises speakers who receive excellent ratings on their presentations at the annual conference. We provide speakers with detailed and constructive feedback on their presentation.
