Speaker Toolkit

Thank you again for joining us as a presenter at the 2012 AAAAI Annual Meeting. This site will serve as a resource to help you prepare your presentations and to answer your questions about the 2012 Annual Meeting and your needs as a session leader.

To begin, please review the invitation(s) you received to confirm the type of session(s) in which you are presenting. Each session type has unique requirements; please be sure to review all of the information for each type of session in which you will be participating.

General Speaker Information

Disclosure of Relevant Commercial Interests

Pursuant to the Code of Ethics for the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) and the Standards for Commercial Support of Continuing Medical Education of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, the AAAAI requires disclosure of certain information from faculty members of educational activities designated for CME credit by the AAAAI.

To satisfy these requirements we require that all speakers visit the Online Disclosure System to supply the necessary information about relevant financial relationships. AAAAI members should use the same login and password used to access the AAAAI website. Non-members should contact the AAAAI Education Team at (414) 272-6071 or cme@aaaai.org for login information.

Each speaker’s disclosure information will be reviewed for each session in which s/he is presenting. If the review indicates that the speaker’s disclosure presents a potential conflict of interest, the speaker will be notified of this result and any steps necessary to resolve the situation. In addition, all faculty are required to disclose their financial relationships before each presentation in which they speak, by use of a disclosure slide and a verbal statement. Disclosure slides for each session will be provided to you by AAAAI staff, based on the results of each review of your disclosure record.

For questions related to the disclosure process, please contact the AAAAI Education Staff at (414) 272-6071 or cme@aaaai.org.

AAAAI Lifelong Learner Bill of Rights

The Academy’s Lifelong Learner Bill of Rights describes the expectations that AAAAI members have for our educational activities. Please take a moment to review and consider these expectations as you complete the planning for your session(s).

Visual Aids

If you will be using PowerPoint slides or other media in your presentation you must bring a copy of your materials on either a flash drive or CD-ROM to the conference site. Please plan to deliver this to the Speaker Resource Room at least two hours prior to your presentation to insure that your materials will be available when you speak.

All session types except Seminars and Panel Discussion Workshops will have audio/visual equipment available. Seminars will have only a flipchart and markers unless a request for A/V equipment has been approved in advance by the AMPC.
