The Professional Management Conference is sponsored by the Association of Professional Genealogists, and will be held 18 August 2010, Knoxville, Tennessee, in conjunction with the FGS Conference. The Deadline for Submission is 1 May 2008.
Lecture proposals for the 2010 Professional Management Conference are now being accepted. The theme for the conference, Charting Your Path To Success, encourages all members of the genealogical profession to look at ways to improve both their genealogical and their business skills.
Lectures should:
- Challenge genealogical professionals to think outside the box
- Help professionals evaluate and review their current business
- Encourage professionals to meet the demands of the twenty-first-century client
Lectures must be new, original, and on topics relevant to professional genealogists, but do not need to be specifically genealogical. Presentations from other professional fields that would benefit professional genealogists will be considered. Lectures will be one hour, including questions; however, consideration will be given to longer or interactive presentations.
Proposals should be submitted electronically to admin@apgen.org either in Microsoft Word or PDF format and should include the following:
- Name, address, telephone, fax, and e-mail address of speaker
- Title of the presentation
- Detailed description of the presentation
- Short one-sentence summary for the program brochure
- Short one-sentence biography for the program brochure
- Biography of 150 words for publicity and the PMC syllabus
- Audio visual requirements
- List of lectures given in the last 18 months including topic and location
