What is the deadline for submission?
We have already started writing the programmes. If you have been invited to speak, please complete the form immediately. Otherwise forms should be returned no later than 1st November although some programmes are filling up quickly.
What criteria do you use for accepting submissions?
Ideally sessions should be interactive, evidence-based, include examples of best practice and innovation and be relevant to the stream applied for. Please do not submit any general sessions - our delegates like specifics.
How many delegates attend?
Just under 6000 attended the event last year. Individual sessions attract between 100-700+ delegates.
What expenses can I claim?
If you are representing a commercial organisation then we don’t pay fees. Please discuss any other expenses with ben@sterlingevents.co.uk Fees, hotel and travel should be itemised on the form. Generally our speakers do not charge, or charge very little as the conference is free of charge to attend for practising healthcare professionals so we like to keep costs to a minimum.
Can I hand out leaflets?
Unfortunately there is no facility to do this due to the large number of delegates attending. We do however upload speaker powerpoints to our website following the event if authorised to do so by the speaker
Do you record sessions?
No, not unless requested.
What equipment will you provide?
We provide a fully equipped room with technician, microphone, lectern. You can use powerpoint and also videos on request. We will provide further details once you are confirmed.
What happens if I have specific requirements or need adjustments to assist my delivery?
That is no problem, please email ben@sterlingevents.co.uk to discuss
