PEHSU Webinar Speaker Guidelines 

Thank you for agreeing to speak at an upcoming PEHSU Webinar. The following should provide you helpful details as you plan your presentation.
General Information
  • Your presentation title, objectives, a speaker bio, a CDC Bio/Disclosure Form, and picture are due 5 weeks prior to your presentation for initial CE application.
  • Presentations should be created in Powerpoint on the PEHSU template (provided below).
  • Please avoid video or animation in your slides. If it is necessary for you to use video or animation, we can create a workable solution.
  • All licensed or copyrighted images must include an appropriate citation or reference to its ownership. (Click here for copyright request letter template)
  • Your presentation should be about 45 minutes allowing for questions and discussion.
  • You are encouraged to create interactive questions that we will poll the audience with during the presentation. Create a slide within your presentation for each question and PEHSU-West will manage the polling process.
  • Slides are due 4 weeks prior to the presentation. Changes can be made following submission but they will need to be submitted your respective PEHSU National Program Office.
  • Webinars are broadcasted over the internet using WebEx or GoToWebinar. You will receive a link to the meeting prior to the event. Please login to the WebEx or GoToWebinar using that link 20-30 minutes prior to the start of the presentation. Initially, all attendees and speakers are muted upon entry to the meeting. The host of the meeting will unmute you and allow for meeting setup.
  • Please phone in for the webinars from a landline preferably with a headset for the best sound quality. Using speakerphone functionality often creates undesirable feedback on the line.
