A newsletter for members of AESA                                                        August 22, 2016

Calling ESA Members: We want to feature you!
6 Innovations in 60 Minutes
A special breakout at the Annual Conference.
Could this one be for you?
The AESA 2016 Conference committee is seeking innovative practices, processes, or services for a specialized breakout entitled "6 Innovations in 60 Minutes". Our purpose is to share 6 Innovations in 60 Minutes on both Thursday and Friday afternoon during the 2016 Annual Conference (for a total 12 innovations). In doing so, our hope is to spread the vast innovation occurring in ESA's across the membership. 
How it will work
The format will allow each presenter to have 10 minutes to present, then move to a designated table to be available after the session for interested participants to further gather information.

Between each presentation, there will be a short 'set-up' time of less than 3 minutes. Each presenter can utilize their 10 minutes however they desire to convey their message. Please, no vendors, ESA's only!

Interested?
If you are interested in presenting your innovation, send a short description, short video, and/or evidence of success to Mike Cook, conference committee chair at [email protected] Thank you!
New Conference FEATURE: ESA Talks!
We've all watched a TEDTalk or two... well, let's have two "ESA Talks"!! Join us Saturday morning for the inaugural session of "ESA Talks", a TEDTalk like presentation from thought leaders from the ESA family. Two ESA thought leaders will be selected and invited to present for 25 minutes. 

If you would like to submit your ESA Talk proposals, please send a brief description or short video to Mike Cook, conference committee chair at [email protected]. All proposals are to be submitted no later than October 15, 2016.
