Please note the following:
The PPC welcomes proposals that are still in the formative stages, and may work with potential presenters to focus their proposals further.
Proposals should name any particular products or services that are integral to the content of the presentation. However, as a matter of NASIG policy, programs should not be used as a venue to promote or attack any product, service, or institution.
Time management issues generally limit each session to one to three speakers for conference sessions. Panels of four (4) or more speakers are discouraged and must be discussed in advance with the Program Planning Committee ([ prog-plan at nasig.org ]( http://mailto:%20prog-plan@nasig.org ))
Please refer to the NASIG reimbursement policy for reimbursement of speaker expenses.
All session speakers must complete a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) prior to speaking at the conference.
All speakers must honor NASIG’s [ Code of Conduct ]( http://www.nasig.org/site_page.cfm?pk_association_webpage_menu=700&pk_association_webpage=9476 ) at [ https://goo.gl/zrRhuc ]( https://goo.gl/zrRhuc ) 

NASIG may provide online live streaming of presentation sessions, and all speakers will be required to give NASIG the right to stream this content. 
Inquiries may be sent to PPC at: [ prog-plan at nasig.org ]( http://mailto:%20prog-plan@nasig.org )
We look forward to a great conference in Atlanta!
