Presenter Requirements
All presenters, including pre-conference presenters, poster session participants, and moderators must have active NWSA individual membership and be registered for the conference by August 30th. Membership and conference registration are two separate processes and require separate fees. We recommend updating your individual membership first, then registering for the conference to receive the reduced rate for current members.
Presenters are responsible for any materials needed to fully participate in their session. This means, specifically, that the Association does its best to provide standard audio/visual equipment (projectors and screens) to presenters who submit robust technology rationales in their conference proposal.
You cannot bring your own projector or speakers due to union regulations. With the exception of adapters, all audiovisual equipment must be handled by the NWSA's audiovisual provider. We HIGHLY recommend you bring an adapter as they will not be available or provided by NWSA/our audiovisual contractor. Therefore, presenters must bring their own adapters in addition to laptops/computers/tablets, etc. needed to present your work.
We encourage you to explore more Conference FAQs to help prepare for our upcoming 44th Annual Conference!
