  • Information as it appears in the proposal will be used in the program. Please adhere to the word count guidelines. Be sure to include specific details regarding what participants will learn, activities to be used, and level of expertise needed in order for participants to benefit from the session. Your proposal will be ranked based on the information provided in the proposal.
  • Submission Deadline: May 15, 2008.
  • If selected, a presenter agrees to register for the conference using a conference registration form, furnish handouts, communicate with co-presenters, and provide AV equipment other than the overhead transparency projector.
  • LDA will provide an overhead transparency projector to any presenter requesting such. An audiovisual form will be sent to selected session lead presenters for additional audiovisual needs. Note that all additional requests will be given to the hotel and are subject to an additional fee based on hotel charges – which will be the responsibility of the presenter, not LDA.
