Presenters Manual & Marketing Kit

Created for your convenience, this manual is full of ideas and tools that can help you set up, market and carry out a successful speaking engagement. Within it you will find a list of presenter options available to you based on your education and experience as a UII alumnus.

We've also included information on how to organize and promote your workshop, as well as what type of support you can receive from UII when presenting. Our goal is to help you create successful presentations that raise awareness about the work you're doing, drive business to your practice and allow you to earn additional income as a progressive-thought leader in your community.

Forms

For your convenience, we've included three forms that will be useful to you as a UII presenter.

The Class Addition & Speaking Engagement Forms can be used for two purposes: 1) If you are hosting an Upledger ShareCare, CSTO, or CSTI, please complete the entire first page of this form. 2) If you are presenting a one to six hour speaking engagement in your community (approved presentation lengths depend upon the topic presented), please fill out the Presenter Information at the top of page one only, then complete all of page two.

The Registration Form is provided to help you capture the necessary information when taking registrations for your UII workshop.

The W-9 Form is a government form necessary for any presenter receiving funds from UII. If you are not expecting a check from us, there is no need for you to print and submit this form.

Flyers

Here are flyers that you're able to customize with your name and the date, time, location and details of your workshop. These flyers are created in Microsoft Word and should be easy to update with your information.

We recommend that you use these flyers to promote your event and increase registrations by displaying them at local schools, hospitals, clinics, health food stores and health fairs. They can also be inserted in direct mail pieces or area healthcare newsletters.


Press Releases

Press Releases can be a great way to get the word out about an upcoming event in your community. Customize these press releases and send them to your local newspapers, healthcare magazines and community newsletters (check with them first to confirm printing deadlines).

You should also register your event with community events calendars offered in your area.


Confirmation Letters

Use confirmation letters to let your registrants know that their space has been reserved in your upcoming workshop. We highly recommend sending these forms out as soon as you receive registrations. If a registrant has an outstanding balance for your class, you can include this information in the letter, or send them a bill along with the confirmation letter.

For your convenience, UII is also able to take registrations for your upcoming workshop. We have the ability to accept all major credit cards and handle all confirmation letters and billing details for you if you choose this option. There is a 12.5% handling fee on registrations taken by UI. You will be paid all registration fees due you (less handling fee) after UII has received your final class roster.

Please Note: UII must have your W-9 form on file to be paid your registration fees.

These password protected outlines help you create a strong, professional and successful presentation.
