- Submit an LNB Presentation Abstract Submissions Form with details about your presentation. Please email it to us for confirmation and acceptance by our review committee.
- Upon acceptance, create the slide deck summarizing your research or article and its key takeaways. Use visuals, case examples, and practical recommendations to engage your audience. Please send your slide deck to us for CEU validation. This is only required if we seek CEUs for the learning center.
- Once your slides have been cleared, please record a video. Note that PowerPoint does a great job with video presentations where you can record individual video with each slide. We then export that PowerPoint slide deck to create the MP4 video file that is loaded on the learning center. We also create PDF handout files that are also loaded on your presentation page. Note that PowerPoint does a great job with video presentations!
- Your video will be made available to a global audience, helping to translate research into action and shape the future of emergency management practices.
