Some proposals don't match our criteria. Send only your proposal and two copies. If you do not include two copies, your proposal may not reach the proposal committee until after the rest have been submitted. We have limited space, so omitting the extra copies may decrease your chances of being accepted. Fill out the form completely.
Many people forget to sign the safety guidelines section.
Others forget to request audiovisual equipment, and so don't get the equipment they need. Please include three copies of the form when you mail it in, as requested. Mail it in to the Program Committee before the deadline. If the proposal is postmarked by the deadline date, that's good enough for us. Session proposals and short course proposals are handled in a similar fashion.
