Presenter Registration Policy

All presenters for accepted proposals from the general Call for Proposals in Spring 2023 agree to register and pay for the convention by October 10, 2023. Any presenter who fails to register by this date will have their information will be removed from all convention programming. Registration for the in-person convention also includes registration for the virtual convention. If your presentation is scheduled only as a virtual session during the virtual convention, you will only be required to register and pay for the virtual convention component.

CEC will provide an LCD projector and screen for in-person sessions. In-person poster sessions will not have any AV equipment provided. Presenters are responsible for bringing their own laptop or arrange to rent equipment. Presenters of pre-recorded virtual sessions agree to provide caption files with the appropriate time stamps.

Program Content Policies

Presenters understand and agree that their proposal does not promote commercially available products, services, or programs. The venue for commercially available products is an Exhibitor Showcase Session. Please visit our Exhibitors & Sponsors page after June 30, 2023, for information on exhibitor showcase sessions. Presenters understand and agree that professional program content (online, mobile app, or promotional material) may contain their session title and abstract as edited by CEC staff. Presenters understand and agree that if a proposal is based on a dissertation, they have read and understand the expectations about presentations based on dissertation research (FAQs, item 5).

Call for Proposals Submission Limit Policies

Presenters may only submit two (2) submissions as a Single Presenter. Presenters may also be listed as a presenter on up to two (2) Group Presentation submissions. Presenters may also be listed as a presenter on one (1) Research-to-Practice Deep Dive submission. Should any submitter be found noncompliant with this policy, all associated submissions will be disqualified.
