The SRG resource replaces the 'calls for presenters' typically launched ahead of each event. By streamlining the process, we’re able to gather more detailed information about each speaker and match them to the best speaking engagements given their knowledge or experience. This program will also help USFN ensure it has quality (and a variety of) speakers for its various events. If you're interested in joining the SRG Directory, please complete the application and submit for review. If you already signed up earlier this year, you do not need to do so again. Should you have any questions please contact the events team.

Navigating In-Person Conferences in a Lingering COVID World
It’s been two years and none of us know what to do with in-person conferences. This session will look at the unique challenges to attending and presenting at live conferences while respecting social distancing and safety. Our speakers will discuss raising the bar on presenting panels to be more engaging, innovative and interesting while preparing for last minutes changes and challenges; creating hybrid presentations to connect in-person with remote attendees; and respecting all attendees' COVID comfort while enjoying being in person. Join us as we address what’s changed and what hasn’t in the world of in-person presenting and attending conferences while looking forward to a return to… “normal?”
