I'm not sure yet

By submitting a workshop, you agree to follow our terms and conditions:

I am a NAD member, in good standing as of June 30, 2022.
I consent to having videos and photographs taken of me and my workshop during the conference.
I give permission for my PPT and presentation materials to be made available to conference attendees after the conference. Note: you can provide us a different PPT that is for public sharing.
I will use the provided conference PC laptop and not my own laptop, because the conference laptop will show both my PPT presentation and captioning through CART that is pre-programmed on the laptop.
I will use the provided PPT template and not my own.
I will submit my final PPT by May 1, 2022.
I will ensure my PPT is accessible and make adjustments to the PPT if the NAD determines changes are needed for such access.
If I cannot host my session or need to cancel for any reason, I will notify the NAD as soon as possible and recommend a replacement speaker. I understand that the NAD may or may not accept my suggestion and may cancel the workshop entirely.

Thank you for considering! Again, please email [email protected] with any questions about submitting a workshop proposal.
