Welcome to the Information Session Presenter Support Page
We are glad to have you participate in this year's conference, and we will make every effort to assist you in making your presentation a success.
Information Session dates:
Thursday, August 6 or Friday, August 7, 2009
Information Session format:
Concurrent Information Sessions offer presenters the opportunity to present a topic and discuss its relevance and applicability. Each session runs 45 minutes in length with the final 10 minutes devoted to discussion and questions. Ten tracks of concurrent Information Sessions are scheduled for both Thursday and Friday.
Required: Submit summary paper for 2009 Conference Proceedings and Web Resource Library:
Every information session is required to submit a 3-5 page session summary paper by May 1. If your paper is not submitted by that date, the conference staff will select an alternate proposal for your time slot. Please follow these steps:
- Download proceedings guidelines and permission form. Review formatting guidelines to help prepare your proceedings document (view sample from prior year).
- Make sure session title and authors of paper match the title and presenters of session.
- Upload your paper to the Conference Drop Box (http://www.uwex.edu/disted/conference/proceedings); log in using the user name and password sent to you by email. A link to a log-in reminder form is also available at the URL listed above.
- Print and fill out the permission form and fax completed form to 608-265-7848 by May 1.
Submit handouts:
We require that each Information Session provide a handout for session attendees. We also request an e-copy to include in our Web Resource Library.
- Create handout (many presenters use their PPT slides as their handout, others create a complementary handout to go along with their presentation).
- Upload handout(s) to Conference Drop Box (http://www.uwex.edu/disted/conference/proceedings) by July 15. Log in using the username and password sent to you by email.
- Bring 70 copies of handout to conference. Conference staff CAN NOT make extra copies for sessions. If there are extra handouts, they may be set on our resource tables in the main hallway. If you run out of handouts, please inform participants how to get a copy from you after the conference (or via Conference Web Resource Library).
