Attendee Materials
If you have handouts, they can be put online or you can bring them along (the average session will have 75 to 125 attendees). Please have your presentation ready in electronic format to hand over to your track chairs prior to starting the session – be it Powerpoint, Keynote, a Slideshare link or other. Track chairs will be collecting the presentations and notes to put online.

All general track sessions (not workshops) will be audio recorded and transcribed for our members. The audio files with transcriptions will be made available at a later date. Please follow up with track chairs if you have any questions or concerns.

Best of Track/Red Stapler
Please plan to stay through Wednesday at noon. We will award Best-of-Track awards Wednesday morning and ask our winners to present again twice so  conference attendees get the chance to see two of the best presentations they might have missed.
