Individual Presentations Persons submitting proposals may not wish to participate on a panel and may wish instead to deliver a presentation in a 30-minute individual session. Time slots have been set aside for this purpose. Speakers should make no more than a 15-minute presentation and leave the other 15 minutes for questions and answers and participant interaction. The World Future Society is a voluntary organization. It cannot provide honoraria or expenses for speakers at conferences.
Speakers benefit from contact with peers, media representatives, potential employers, etc.
Most sessions at the conference will be audio-taped, and cassette tapes will be available for sale during and after the meeting. Media Coverage World Future Society conferences attract extensive media coverage. The Society distributes news releases announcing its major meetings, and a press contact is available on site. It is assumed that speakers who are also authors will not use the sessions to promote their own publications. The purpose of sessions is to share ideas and information, not sell products or services .
