Below you can find an overview of eligibility, who does what in planning the event, and more information about the virtual format. Please read through this information carefully. A link to the proposal form is at the end of the page.
Please contact Florence MacGregor (fmacgregor@nesea.org) with any questions.
Eligibility
-
The opportunity to host a Pro Tour is only available to NESEA Members. If you are not a current member, you are welcome to submit a proposal, but you will be required to become a member before your tour is scheduled.
-
Projects must be located in NESEA's territory: the six New England States, plus New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
Who Does What?
-
The host provides content, expertise, and contact information for the project team members and vendors. The host will also provide learning objectives for CEUs.
-
NESEA staff handle the event logistics. We take care of promotion, registration, customer service for registrants, sponsor recruitment, accreditation, and we manage all of the technical aspects of the tour.
-
Together: if the host chooses to deliver a project overview using a featurette video (more below), the host and NESEA staff will work together to create this component.
The Virtual Format
We’ve developed a format that preserves the interactive, behind-the-scenes vibe of Pro Tours that have made them so popular with attendees, hosts, and sponsors throughout the region. Unlike a traditional webinar, attendees will come with their mics and cameras on: participants are able to see and hear other attendees, ask content experts questions directly, and meet new people in the NESEA community.
Virtual Pro Tours will always be held on Friday afternoons, 12:30-2:30pm.
