Invitation to Participate as a Panelist – FPinfomart Breakfast Series

Each year FPinfomart strives to create an interesting theme for our event, as well as provide opportunities for interactivity. This year’s breakfast event will conclude with a panel of FPinfomart users who will participate in a live, guided discussion about their use of information and how FPinfomart fits into this space in their daily work. We have had similar customer presentations in the past which have been received very positively by our audiences. We invite you to consider applying to join our customer panel at your city’s breakfast event!

We will provide the questions to the selected panelists well in advance of the event in order to provide you with time to think about what you might like to say; however we hope that the discussion will take on an organic nature as the panelists interact with each other.

If you are chosen to participate, you would be expected to attend the breakfast event in your city (please see dates, above), arriving no later than 7:45 a.m., and wrapping up by 11:00 a.m., and participate in a moderated three-member discussion panel in front of an audience between 50-100 people.

If you are interested in being a panelist at your city’s event, please reply to Jennifer Stein expressing your interest by March 31, 2011. Selected panelists will be notified during early April.
