Faculty will be required to register for the event (rate based on membership status) and are responsible for their own travel and hotel arrangement and event related expenses.

A maximum of two faculty will be selected per organization. Organizations may submit more faculty with the understanding the Education Workgroup will select a maximum of two.

Where faculty are direct providers care preference will be given to Alliance members.

Faculty working for ineligible companies will only be accepted if:

• The content is not related to the business lines or products of their employer/company,
  or
• The content is limited to basic science research, such as preclinical research and drug discovery, or the methodologies of research, and they do not make care recommendations.
• The content is non-clinical, such as leadership or communication skills training.

To complement the framework and innovative focus of this event, the Education Workgroup seeks a diversity of thought to educate care at home teams. We encourage faculty from diverse backgrounds, varying leadership stages, and those who have not previously presented at an Alliance event to submit their expertise for consideration to ensure a broad range of perspectives that enrich the educational experience for all attendees.

Plan your submission in advance. We suggest that you first collect your thoughts for your submission before going to the online form. Once you have your ideas and all necessary information together, go to the online form. Download a Sample Form

Don’t underestimate the importance of interactivity and innovation. Adult learning theory suggests that the best learning environments are those that are collaborative and utilize a problem-based approach.

Avoid all commercial bias. Sessions perceived by attendees as commercially biased in content (including use of client products or proprietary tools/models) are unacceptable. Any submission that is not educational in nature, neutral and unbiased, replicable by attendees without the author’s assistance, and free of commercial motive/intent will not be accepted. If accepted, those in violation of this policy may forfeit future speaking opportunities.

To help streamline your submission process, we recommend planning in advance.
