presentation submissions

This year’s NH Emergency Preparedness Conference planning committee invites professionals and volunteers working in any aspect of emergency preparedness and response to showcase and share their model practices, planning and response tools, improvements from lessons learned, and resources (planning, information systems, trainings, etc.) that advance emergency preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery.


Conference & Presentation Format

Presentations should focus on sharing model practices, tools, resources, and lessons learned that advance emergency preparedness and response.


The conference will be a full day from 8:15-4:45 (subject to change), with four blocks of 75 minute concurrent sessions, and breaks to allow time for exhibits and networking throughout the day.


There are two types of session formats:

  • Standard Presentations (Maximum of 3 Presenters)
    A talk or media presentation focusing on a single topic or program followed by a short discussion with one or two presenters (maximum of three). The final 10-15 minutes of the presentation should allow for audience question and answers.


  • Panel Presentations (Maximum 4 panelists plus a Moderator)
    Discussions presenting differing perspectives or approaches on a topic or question. Panels must include a moderator, and a maximum of four panelists. To enhance the richness of the discussion, criteria for selecting panelists should include diversity of presenters and/or viewpoints. The final 10-15 minutes of the panel should allow for audience question and answers.


The sessions will be assigned a time at a later date. If an applicant has time restrictions during the day of the conference (e.g., the presenter is only available in the morning or the afternoon) please indicate this information in the Additional Information section on the submission. 


Before submitting, please be sure ALL proposed presenters/panelists are lined up and availability is confirmed. You will be required to provide full names, credentials, contact information, experience presenting the topic, and a complete biography. Your submission may be rejected for incomplete information.
