MLA has designed a very special continuing education event for Missouri library staff.
Presentation Academy is a unique, hybrid training experience designed to boost your presenation skills, especially focused on encouraging and support library staff to provide successful workshop and conference presentations. The entire academy will include multiple events: a four-hour in-person workshop offered at several locations, followed by a series of one-hour webinars offered this summer, and concluding with a preconference at the 2016 annual MLA conference. Participants are encouraged, but not required, to attend all three facets of the Academy.
Registration is open for the four-hour Presentation Academy workshops taking place in May in seven locations (Daniel Boone Regional Library – Columbia – May 12, 9am – 1pm) around the state (content is identical at all sites, so register for the location and date best for you). The cost of the sessions is just $15 for MLA members or $40 for non-members.
At the May workshop, participants will:
· Develop ideas for conference proposals
· Explore different presentation formats and choose the best one for your ideas
· Engage in small-group discussion on presentation strategies
