It's like anything else. It's a club based on networking and who you know and who is willing to play the game. Same for the podcast and social media circuit.
Maybe, maybe not. This year I didn't even apply and was selected to give two talks in the actual conference. I'll also be doing the evening event for the third time. It's not really much of a game though, there's no money in speaking at the actual conference. You get free admission and expenses but no speaking fee. I kind of find it interesting that I could run a conference, feed the attendees, pay my speakers very well, and still realize a pretty good profit. I guess all the money you pay for the conference goes to fund everything else ACEP does, dunno. Probably would be interesting to dive into the finances of most professional societies.
At any rate, if you want to hear me speak (or just meet me) at the 2018 ACEP SA, here are your opportunities:
October 2nd Industry sponsored Evening Event from 6-9 pm at the Hard Rock Hotel. Don't have to attend the conference, free admission, free copy of my book, free food and drinks. Have to RSVP. Don't worry, I won't be speaking for 3 hours. More like 1 plus 30 minutes Q&A. RSVP here:
