You spoke - we listened!  Based on your feedback, this year's conference will feature more dynamic content and exciting new session formats that allow you to tailor your week to fit your needs.  Brief descriptions of session options can be seen below.  This page will be updated as details become available.

Pre-Conference Workshops
For the second year, we will be offering hosted pre-conference workshops at the ACMP Global Conference. Sunday, April 1, will feature a workshop "exhibition" with 3-hour sessions held in the afternoon from 1 to 4 PM. Sessions will be taught by conference sponsors and are available only to conference attendees (additional fee required). Attendees must pre-register for workshop sessions as space is limited.

Keynotes
Each morning will feature a keynote speaker with a unique perspective on leading change.  Making hard change easier, the science of influence and forecasting the future all make for engaging presentations.

Experience-Based Tracks
Attendees at the ACMP Global Conference come from varied backgrounds and level of experience.  With this in mind, 2012 will feature designated tracks for "New to Change" and "Experienced" practitioners. 

Topic Tracks
We have also broken down sessions into focused topics.  This year's event will feature tracks on "How-to, Best Practices, Case Studies"; "Emerging Trends, Innovative Ideas"; and "Industry Specific / Special Interest Presentations". International presentations will also be highlighted for more global takeaways.

New Presentation Types
In addition to the standard 50-minute sessions, we have included 30-minute "short" sessions and 90-minute workshops.  We are also featuring the latest presentation trend - Pecha Kucha!  A unique take on traditional PowerPoint, this fast-paced style consists of 20 slides in 20 seconds each.

Networking
Throughout the week, we will host special networking activities and sessions designed to engage attendees and create connections (speed networking, anyone?).  From the Meet & Greet reception to closing session, you will be surrounded with organized opportunities to connect with peers.  We dare you to make it through the week without meeting a new friend!

Small Group Sessions
Sitting through hour after hour of lecture can be tiring for even the most hardened academician.  This is why we have scattered small group sessions throughout the week.  With a maximum attendance of 50, these sessions offer more personal conversations and hands-on learning.  Get there early to save your seat!
