LSSSCA will convene a committee to review and select Conference sessions. You will be contacted via email by NCYI, the organization managing this conference, to let you know if your proposal is accepted by the end of June. The Lead Presenter will receive all communications regarding your breakout session and will be responsible for sharing it with co-presenters, if any.
We carefully consider all proposals in an effort to share successes in issues facing today’s youth.
HANDOUT
A QR code will be used for attendees to gain access to session handouts. Please provide a file/s to presenters@ncyi.org by September 30, 2024 with your session title as the file name. You are welcome to provide physical copies of your handouts to attendees at your own expense. The rooms will be set for 40-60 participants.
HOTEL RESERVATIONS
Presenters must make their own hotel reservations and are responsible for all other travel expenses.
CO-PRESENTERS
All communications regarding your breakout session will come to the Lead Presenter directly, and they will be responsible for sharing it with their Co-Presenter(s), if any. Also note the rate structure for Co-Presenters. If Co-Presenters are not added at the time of the CFP submission, they cannot be added in the future.
WI-FI
The hotel is equipped with Wi-Fi Internet that is complimentary for presenters only. We highly recommend designing your session so that you will not need internet access, since it can be slow or unreliable.
POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS
The Association is asking that all Power Point presentations slides use a header template provided by LSSSCA. This Forging Our Legacy template will be sent in the Acceptance Package if your session is chosen. Please send your PowerPoint presentations to presenters@ncyi.org to be put on the conference app.
AUDIO VISUAL EQUIPMENT
All meeting rooms will be arranged theater style. Please note that the Conference will provide a LCD projector, screen, A/V cart and power supply at no charge to you. However, the Conference will not be able to provide any other A/V equipment. You are responsible for providing your own laptop and dongle/appropriate adapter, if needed for your presentation. If your presentation requires sound for a video or sound effect please make the necessary plan to provide that equipment on your own. If you need additional audio visual equipment, please contact the hotel. Any arrangements you make with the hotel will be at your own expense.
For more information or questions, please contact presenters@ncyi.org.
