We are accepting proposals for the following sessions:
- Concurrent Sessions: Concurrent sessions run for an hour and fifteen minutes.
- Seminars: This year, we plan to offer two-hour seminars from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and three-hour seminars from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. We will also consider proposals for half-day seminars, with Part 1 in the morning and Part 2 in the afternoon.
Proposals are being accepted now through Friday, August 15, 2008. If you have any questions, please email Maggie Ward, Associate Director, at maggie@nboa.net.
Please note that the submission of a presentation does not guarantee participation in the Annual Symposium program. All proposals will be reviewed and selections will be made based on merit of content, fit with the overall program, and qualifications of the presenter. If your presentation is selected, NBOA reserves the right to revise titles, reassign the identified topic area, or edit the program summary for promotional and program materials.
