Overview
Speakers begin the process by developing a compelling title and abstract, which they submit through MAPS staff to the appropriate distribution list within three business days. From there, the DT team has up to one week to offer input if desired. Once finalized, speakers collaborate with MAPS staff to record the podcast. Depending on its nature, either FAWG (for nonpromotional content) or MAPS staff (for sponsored content) conducts quality control and approves the final recording. This is a 20 minute didactic or conversational podcast with a wide range of topics, exploring trends or best practices. Upon completion, the podcast is officially published, bringing valuable insights to the audience.
It takes a lot of preparation and work for a planned conversation to appear seamless!
