Presentation submissions are being accepted now until Friday, October 8, 2010.

Proposals are welcome from PR and other communications professionals and educators. Submissions are also welcome from other field-related experts such as management consultants, journalists, editors and specialists in the field of interactive communications, research and communications measurement. Presentations from vendors will only be considered if they are unbiased, educational, informative and innovative. All presentations MUST be noncommercial. Pitches for a specific commercial service or product will not be considered.

Speaker note: Speakers presenting at the 2011 PRSA|GA Annual Conference will not receive compensation for their presentation nor their expenses related to their presentation, including travel.

Presentations should be targeted to one or more of these groups. Your presentation should be designed to educate, inform and intrigue our attendees with the latest in up-to-date theory, strategy and practice.
