After the success of the Lecture Lab Auditions at last year’s
International Respiratory Congress (4 were selected to present at this
year’s Congress in Las Vegas), the AARC Program Committee is happy to
announce that again, they will be holding open auditions for new
speakers at this year's International Respiratory Congress, Dec 6–9 in
Las Vegas, Nevada. While the number of auditions is limited by time
constraints, the rules to become a Lecture Lab contestant are very
simple:
Applicants must be AARC members and must have never lectured at
the AARC Congress.
Accepted applicants will be given up to 10 minutes to present a
shortened version of their full 40-minute presentation.
Each presentation must consist of an introduction, body, and
conclusion.
Presenters must use PowerPoint slides in the style of usual
plenary lectures at the AARC Congress.
Experienced speakers, all of them considered successful
presenters at the AARC Congress, will serve as audition judges.
Presenters will be
graded on appeal of topic, knowledge of content, quality of visual
aids, delivery of lecture, and adherence to the 10-minute time
limit. Important: Topics must not be simply marketing material
provided by a manufacturer.
Winning presenters and their lectures will automatically be
accepted for presentation at next year's Congress in Tampa, FL (must
be the same topic presented at the audition) and presenters will receive
complimentary registration for the 2011 Congress.

and submit the online form below or mail, fax or email the printable version by October 22, 2010.
