Speaker Biography and Photo Guidelines
Speaker Biography
Your speaker biography is a descriptive summary of your education, work history, and experience that relates to the topic on which you will be speaking. Please do not submit a CV.
- Length: Keep your bio brief, targeting approximately 100 words. Attendees will take the time to learn more about you prior to your session.
- Professional Experience: Provide an overview of your work experience, including your current position, or noteworthy accomplishments that are relevant to your session topic and the audience.
- Education/Publications: Incorporate academic qualifications, awards, and a reference to published work if relevant to the topic you are presenting.
- Personal Details: If you choose, include specific personal information such as hobbies or volunteer activities that would make you relatable to your audience. Do avoid including personal details relevant to family.
Speaker Photo
The addition of your professional headshot completes your speaker bio. If you do not have a professional headshot, a photo that has a neutral, non-distracting background is an acceptable substitution. Instructions for
submitting your bio and photo will be sent to speakers this summer.
Session CPE Codes
CPAs in attendance are required to record the session CPE code and enter it into the session evaluation for the CPE credits reporting. AFP will insert a CPE code slide at the end of the presentation.
At the conclusion of your presentation please be sure to advance to this slide so that the code appears on the screen for attendees. If you have any questions regarding session CPE codes on site, please speak to an AFP staff member.
