Preparing Your Seminar For Publication In The APEC Seminar Workbooks

You are required to prepare your seminar in advance and submit it in advance for publication in the APEC seminar workbooks.

For publication in the seminar workbook, your presentation must be prepared in a two slide per page format and submitted in Adobe Acrobat format. If you have a problem with these requirements, please contact the APEC offices as soon as possible to explore possible arrangements.

The nominal limit is 100 slides (which is 50 pages or 25 sheets of paper when printed double-sided). The page limit is imposed to control costs. If you need more than 100 slides, contact the APEC 2006 offices as soon as possible to make your request for permission to have more than 100 slides. Requests for more than 100 slides may or may not be granted.

Your presentation will be printed in black and white. Please make sure that the color scheme for your slides allows your seminar materials to be easily read and understood when printed in back and white. APEC suggests that you do a test printing of your seminar materials on a high quality black and white laser printer before submitting them to APEC.

The deadline to submit your seminar materials to the APEC offices is Friday, January 13, 2006. Failure to submit your materials by this deadline may result in your seminar being withdrawn from the APEC 2006 seminar program.

Presenting Your Seminar At The Conference
