Professional Education Seminar Schedule And Timing

The APEC 2024 Professional Education Seminars will be held in three sessions:

  • Sunday, February 25, 2024, 9:30 AM - 1:00 PM
  • Sunday, February 25, 2:30 PM - 6:00 PM
  • Monday, February 26, 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM

In each three and one half hour session the format is:

  • 90 minutes of presentation
  • 30 minute break
  • 90 minutes of presentation

Prospective seminar speakers must show in their outline that their seminar will conform to this timing. This is necessary so that the coffee and beverage service for the breaks is coordinated among all seminars.

Prospective seminar speakers understand that an accepted seminar may be assigned to any of the three seminar sessions. Requests for assignment to a specific session will be considered but no guarantee that such requests can be accommodated.

Presentation File Format

Seminars accepted for presentation at APEC 2024 must be provided in Microsoft PowerPoint file format. No exceptions will be made.

Professional Education Seminar slides must be formatted in wide, 16 x 9 format.

Requests for seminar speakers to be able to play supplementary video or audio files can generally be accommodated but arrangements must be made well ahead of the conference date.
