How do I participate as a speaker or presenter at the convention?
By submitting a presentation proposal. Visit Call for Presentations. If you are interested in presenting a Featured Session or a Learning Lab (invite only sessions) please contact Lisa Yonkers.

Why are the deadlines so far in advance of the convention?
The Program Committee needs time to review and select the hundreds of submissions as well as to assign dates and times for those that are accepted. We also have print deadlines for the Final Program that are well in advance of the convention.

I am presenting, why do I have to pay for my registration?
If we did not require the 600+ presenters and moderators to pay to attend we would have to scale back the production of the entire convention. Plus, presenters have access to the educational presentations CEUs, the exhibit hall and special events.

Will sessions be recorded? How can I get a copy of a speaker’s presentation?
The recorded sessions can be purchased on-site from the IntelliQuest Media sales desk located on the meeting room level. After the conference, orders can be placed at www.intelliquestmedia.com or contact IntelliQuest Media P.O. Box 1299, St. Petersburg, FL 33731.

I am presenting; do I need to register as well?
