2008 Congress - Speaker Agreements
During the week of July 28th Speaker Agreements were sent to all education session speakers and Off-Site Institute presenters.  The Speaker Agreements are due back by Friday, September 5th and include information on the session, room setup, audio visual requirements, special accommodation requests, presentation/handout materials, registration, etc.  If you are an education session speaker or an Off-Site Institute presenter and did not receive your Speaker Agreement during the week of July 28th, please contact Danielle Price at dprice@nrpa.org or 703-858-2195.

Session Presentation and Additional Handouts
All education session speakers and Off-Site Institute presenters must submit an electronic copy their session PowerPoint presentation and additional handouts by Friday, September 5, 2008, if they have not already done so.  Presentations and handouts 3MB and smaller can be sent via email to Danielle Price at dprice@nrpa.org.  Presentations and handouts larger than 3MB can be submitted via our FTP site.  If you need to submit your presentation via the FTP site, please contact Danielle Price at dprice@nrpa.org for instructions on how to do so.
 
In an effort to “Go Green” NRPA will not provide handouts, but we will provide free online access via the Online Digital Library to the presentations/handouts to the registered attendees who purchase the Full, Education, Student and Retired registration packages.  The online access to the presentations and handouts will be available 2-4 weeks pre-conference to the attendees and the audio recording of your presentation will be added to the presentations and handouts 2-3 weeks post-conference.  If your presentation and additional handouts are not submitted by the deadline your session outline will be posted until it is received.
 
Speakers wishing to provide printed handouts should bring enough for all session attendees.  The estimated attendance (based on room capacity) is provided in the Speaker Agreement.
 
Contact Danielle Price at dprice@nrpa.org or at 703-858-2195 with any questions.
