What Should I Speak About???

Help me pick my topic!

I have had the pleasure throughout my career to be an invited guest speaker at several conferences on Cabin Safety.  I have spoke at the International Cabin Safety Conference in Amsterdam, Vancouver and was invited to Zurich before the conference was abruptly cancelled due to insolvency on the part of the conference organizer. 

I enjoyed being able to speak and found it to be a rewarding experience.  Over the past two years I have had several colleagues tell me that I should get back into a speaking circuit organized by another event provider.  I would love to! the problem I am having is that I don't know what topic I should write a paper on and one that I can catch the attention of the organizer with an abstract of 200 words or less... 

I am going to go for it, but I need your help!  I have until the end of the month to submit a 200 word abstract in order to be considered for a speaking spot. I have created a poll of topics that I am considering.  The conference organizer is looking for topics that cover "Target Training Interventions and Aviation Safety".  Additionally if you think there is a different topic not listed in my poll, please leave a comment. 

Speak well, 

Jeff

I voted for Inadvertent slide deployments because I think it's an important topic that I can't recall getting a lot of attention in talks. Evacuation commands would be a great topic too, and of course as they involve language, one very close to my own research interests :-) looking forward to hearing your talk, whatever topic it is!

Great thoughts Barb! In the theme of training interventions slide deployments definitely make for a good solid topic. If I was to write a paper on this I would be sharing an actual incident that happened at my airline where an employee inadvertently deployed the slide on top of air stairs during a medical emergency. Lots of great CRM and Human Factors pieces, and I think what we did with the employee might surprise a lot of other airlines. I will keep the polls open until the end of the week!
