Your Guide to Applying: Understanding Your Role:
- If you’re proposing a (panel/discussant interview/masterclass/webinar), we recommend a unified pitch from one representative, confirming all speakers’ agreement and commitment to the session’s concept and APVA’s terms. If you’re still assembling your dream team, share your potential lineup or transform your concept.
- Solo/Duo pitchers should focus on a subject area rather than proposing an entire panel subject.
- In all, session leaders have full autonomy and are responsible for their concept and delivery, while the APVA team provides toolkits, resources, and a platform for engagement, and amplified visibility.
