Conflicts of Interest
- Speakers may not be employees or owners of an ACCME defined ineligible company (aka commercial interest).
- Speakers must complete their AUA Disclosure Forum upon acceptance of the invitation to speak.
- Speakers who have presentations selected for Peer Review will be required to provide their presentations prior to the meeting start date to allow volunteers time to complete all reviews.

Speaker Check-in
- Speakers are REQUIRED to check-in at the Speaker Ready Room 24-hours prior to their scheduled presentation to review/upload their presentations. The audio-visual technicians need to test presentations to ensure they will display appropriately in the actual session room. If your presentation takes place on Friday, please check-in at your earliest convenience.
- The computers in the Speaker Ready Room will be configured with hardware and software exactly like the computer in the session rooms.
- Always review your presentation in the Speaker Ready Room especially if it contains video files, or if it was created on a Mac computer. Mac presentations must be converted to PC format in the Speaker Ready Room because all presentations in the session rooms are administered on PCs.
- Once you are comfortable that your presentation is complete, inform the Speaker Ready Room technician that your presentation is ready to be uploaded to the central server.
- Confirm the date, time, and room for your session.
- Be sure to check-out of the Speaker Ready Room before leaving.
- To access your file(s) on the server for subsequent viewing/edits, you must provide appropriate I.D. (i.e., driver's license) to access/checkout the file. When completed, inform the technician of any changes so the file can be uploaded to the server and the old version removed.
