Faculty Guidelines

The Speaker Management Portal will open in late January. Each speaker is required to upload a short biography (limited to 250 words or less), headshot, and PowerPoint presentation(s).

Each event has a slide template, QI Workshop, NAPBC Workshop, NAPRC Workshop, and the ACS Cancer Conference. Please use the template that corresponds with the event for which you have been invited to speak.

Several blank versions of the content slides are included in each presentation. Please add more of the content slides as needed to complete your presentation.

If you will be using slides that have already been created and need assistance converting these to the conference or workshop(s) template, please contact the Cancer Programs Education Team at cancerprogramsevents@facs.org so that we can assist you.

Slide Templates

The slide templates for the conference and workshops are posted below.

Note: Do NOT include a question slide. We have scheduled time for Q&A at the end of each session,

Please follow the naming convention outlined below to name each PowerPoint presentation. This will help the AV staff to match the presenter with the correct session. The agenda for each event will be posted on the Faculty Resources page.

Naming convention: Last Name, First Name, full name of the presentation as it appears on the agenda

Example:

 All presentation files must be uploaded to the Speaker Management Site in .PPTX format. The deadline to upload slide presentations is March 2, 2025. After March 2nd, speakers will need to upload presentations in the Speaker Ready Room when they arrive in Phoenix.
