When I have a choice, here's the information I like to get, and the format that I prefer. I'll take nearly anything that I can figure out, but if you are able to send it in this format (a text email is fine), then there's less chance of my messing it up.

You can "copy and paste" the text below into an email message, then type/paste in your content. Delete the fields that don't apply, and change any "item" title to suit your needs (eg, replace "Speaker" with "Instructor" or "Presentor," "Cost" with "Fee", add a second "Subject" line and Speaker, etc). If you have a photo -- a snapshot of the speaker or a photo of some technology item -- please email me a jpg of it (something in the size of 70-100kB is fine; I can make thumbnails for website use).
