NOTE BEFORE YOU BEGIN: We recommend you copy your bio/abstract from a text editor (ex. Notepad, Wordpad) instead of directly from Word. The CFP form works best with plain text.

Speaker Presentation Conditions, Requirements and Benefits

You will be asked to agree to the "Copyright and Reproduction Terms" and to provide an unprotected PowerPoint file to us by September 5, 2017 (we request an unprotected file so we can produce the presentation in various formats for publication.
