Proposal Guidelines

You must read these guidelines and check the box at the bottom of this page to access the proposal form.

1. The proposal should convey clearly the content, methods of presentation, and outcomes for participants of the session or workshop:

• the title and description should correspond exactly to what the presenter intends to do;
• the content should be relevant and/or original, with a clear topic;
• the method of presentation should be appropriate to the content;
• session activities and procedures should be feasible within the allotted time period;
• it should be easy to visualize what will occur during the session (materials, involvement of audience, timing, etc.);
• the description of outcomes should specify what participants will acquire (materials, information, and experiences);
• the proposal should convey each presenter's role clearly.

2. If information is missing or unclear, or if instructions have not been followed (for example, more than three co-presenters), the proposal will be returned.

3. Only exhibitor sessions may include marketing and/or sales of products and/or services, and exhibitor sessions may be conducted only by those who rent a table or booth in our exhibit areas.

4. Presenters must be available to present whenever their session or workshop is scheduled (3/7/2013 through 3/10/2013).

5. All presenters must pay the early bird registration fee upon acceptance of their proposal.

6. Session and workshop cancellations are highly disruptive. If your commitment depends on outside funding, please defer to colleagues who are willing to spend their own money to present.

The following instructions are important. Each number below corresponds to that section number on the form.

Section 1 and Section 2.

Please provide as much information as possible so that we can contact you and your co-presenters without difficulty, regardless of the time of day or year: fax numbers and carefully-typed e-mail addresses are most important. List affiliations (place of work), city and state exactly as they should appear in our Official Program.

Section 3.

Please check the one best choice in each category. If you check more than one item, we will use only the first one checked.

Section 4.

You are not required to use a microphone, and we will determine whether you will need one in the meeting room to which you are assigned (if you have special circumstances, please e-mail us). Note that you must bring a laptop if you will need one for your presentation. LCD projector and Internet access for the presenter laptop only, will be provided.

Section 5.

The title is used in grids and other formats where space is at a premium and the description does not appear. Please create as concise and accurate a title as possible. Note that the first (longer) description will be read by the Board during the selection process, but attendees will have only the second description available to them.
