Topics are proposed by each committee member responsible for his/her event, but topics are dependent on approval by the majority of committee members present. The committee will approve topics likely to interest the business community, to attract top-speakers and experts where the committee member is sufficiently knowledgeable to moderate the panel successfully. The committee member can choose whether s/he wants to have the event in English or French, which we should know ahead of time for logistical reasons.
4 weeks before the event, the moderator will send InterFrench staff a written paragraph by email about their own bio, the topic, the speakers/panelists, their bios and any other relevant information. This information will be made available on the website and sent by email in the InterFrench newsletter to over 6000 professionals every month. The email address of our events coordinator is: events@interfrench.org
