The Pharmacy Foundation of California (PFC) is soliciting university professors, informal educators, pharmacy practitioners, and other members of the “community of pharmacy” who are willing and able to present a 1.5 or 2-hour educational lecture and/or hands-on workshop at Outlook 2010, the annual California pharmacy convention that was created when PFC’s Education Faire was combined with the California Pharmacists Association’s Annual Meeting.  Outlook 2010 is scheduled for February 4 - 7 in Long Beach, CA. 

If you would like to have your CE program considered, please read the following guidelines regarding the proposal process, complete the Outlook 2010 CE Program Proposal Submission Form and submit all of the required information on or before June 8, 2009.

Submission of proposals

   Attn: Shannon Presidio

   4030 Lennane Drive

   Sacramento, CA  95834

For full consideration, all materials must be received by June 8, 2009.  Late submissions will be considered on a space-available basis only and, if selected, may not appear in the conference registration or promotional materials. 

REVIEW Process

The Educational Advisory Committee will review all submitted proposals and base their decision for selection on a variety of factors including educational value, subject matter relevance, speaker’s expertise and overall “fit” within the Outlook program.  Space is limited and it is possible that not all of the proposals received will be accepted.  

All applicants will be notified by June 26, 2009, regarding the status of their proposal.  At that time, applicants whose proposals have been accepted will be provided with a speaker contract and other forms necessary for the coordination of their program.  Programs not selected will be placed on our waiting list and, in the event that an open spot on the schedule becomes available, the Educational Advisory Committee will re-consider all of the proposals on the list.
