Key Formats & Durations
Knowledge Levels
APC attendees are seasoned administrative professionals and senior in their field. They work primarily for large corporations and institutions. The majority work for executives or senior managers. 95% of attendees are female; however, we do not want male attendees to feel left out or singled out.
Your audience will NOT be entry-level. Even Overview sessions should resonate with all attendees, including senior-level admins. Intermediate sessions must be high-level and Advanced sessions must be at the highest executive level to meet expectations.
Room setups will vary.
Each presentation room will have an LCD projector, at least one Screen, and a Wireless Lavalier Microphone. You must bring your laptop and any connectors/dongles to use for your presentation. If you prefer a slide advancer, please bring your own. If you are using something other than a standard PC, please inform us ahead of time.
INTERNET: Attendees will have access to wireless internet. However, there is limited bandwidth, and some hands-on sessions will need it to run effectively. If it is not essential that your attendees go online with their smart phones or laptops during the session, please refrain from suggesting that they do so. Please also refrain from operating in an online environment during your presentation unless it is essential. Please design your presentation with that in mind.
How early do I have to arrive before my session?
Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of your session.
Will attendees evaluate my session?
Yes. Attendees will complete an evaluation after each session, and the results help inform our future topics and speaker selection.
What is the conference attire?
Professional business attire is required when delivering presentations.
Will there be internet in my conference session room?
There will be wireless internet available for the presenters that require it. For technology sessions: If you need strong bandwidth, please notify us via the Onsite Needs Form.
What is the standard AV in the conference room?
Each presentation room, will have an LCD projector, at least one Screen, and Wireless Lavalier Microphone. For the greatest ease and success, presenters must bring their own laptop and any connectors/dongles to use for your presentation. If you prefer a slide advancer, please bring your own that is compatible with your laptop.
How will my session room be set up?
Room setup varies by room.
If you have a specific request for room setup, please note that in the Speaker Portal. Do be aware, however, that the hotel staffing and the schedule may not allow us to meet your request. In most cases, we are not able to shift room sets between sessions.
What is the overall goal of the conference?
Executive Assistants and Administrative Professionals today are taking on more responsibilities than ever before. They are multi-skilled, versatile, and technically proficient. Yet current research shows that many, if not most, admins are not receiving the training they need to grow and succeed. APC offers admins powerful career development opportunities. You will equip today’s administrative staff with the essential strategies and skills they need to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving business climate.
Your high-quality training will help admins at APC to:
