Have Knowledge?  Want to Share it?  Apply to speak at this years event.

The Roundup offers free ongoing talks on the grounds, the purpose of which is to educate the public on all aspects of sustainability and green living.  If you are knowledgeable in a particular field and would like to share your knowledge with others, please tell us about it by completing the application below. We expect to receive more applications to speak than we have available time slots. Speakers and subjects will be selected on the needs of the program. The deadline for submitting speaker applications is July 15, 2010. Speakers will be notified at the earliest opportunity after that.

Presentations eligible for CEU’s are encouraged and are given preference.  These lectures are held in tents. A new presentation will be scheduled every 60 or 120 minutes.  The lectures are open to all Roundup visitors at no additional charge. Introductory level talks should not be highly technical, but sufficient to excite interest and provide the lay person with a basic understanding of the subject matter. Advanced level talks should assume a basic understanding exists and should move the subject matter to more in-depth, practical applications. We expect 120 minute talks to address both levels.

The Roundup policy limits presentations that are overtly commercial. One tent in which commercially-oriented presentations will be allowed. Priority scheduling in this tent will be given to our exhibitors. If you wish to utilize this opportunity, please note this below. The other tents will retain their educational, non-commercial character. A/V equipment will be available, but again, please remember that these talks are held in tents, which limits the quality of visual presentation. The best results are achieved when using LCD projectors. A laptop computer and LCD projector will be provided in each tent. Bring your presentation on a USB thumb drive in a PDF or Power Point 2003 or later format.
