Conference Handout Release
RWA encourages participants to provide conference handouts. Please e-mail your handouts to workshops@rwa.org by April 2, 2019. Handouts will be provided for download by conference registrants. Paper copies will not be provided onsite.
I will have conference handouts. I understand and agree to this release: I agree to grant RWA the right to include copies of my handout materials for download to conference attendees. I also grant the right for my handouts to be included with sales of recordings of my session (if recorded). I understand that I retain all rights to the use, publication, and reproduction of this material. I further certify that all handout material is my original work and/or that I have written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce his/her copyrighted work. This work does not infringe on anyone else's copyrights and is not defamatory, and I have the full right to make this license. I agree to hold the association harmless from any lawsuits resulting from the inaccuracy or breach of these assurnaces.
Workshop Audio Release
As part of our continuing efforts to educate our members, RWA has arranged for conference workshops to be recorded on Flash Drives and as downloable files. Flash Drives and downloads will be available for purchase by conference attendees, and then to RWA members and non-members through the RWA site. They are protected by copyright from any unauthorized use and/or duplication. The partial conference speaker discount/waiver constitutes payment to the speaker. RWA requests your permission to have your workshop recorded. In presentations with more than one speaker, all participants must agree to be recorded.

I agree to a transcription of my audio recording being provided to individuals who request it as an ADA accommodation.
Speaker Fee Discount/Waiver
Speakers must register to attend the conference. Speakers who fail to register by the conference registration deadline will be replaced.

For RWA2019, each author/member speaker will receive a $120 speaker waiver/discount from the conference registration fee. No individual member speaker may receive more than the $120 for the year.
I understand that as a workshop speaker, the compensation that I am entitled to receive is a discount on my conference fee. I understand that I must complete a conference registration form and apply the discount code at the time of registration.
Individuals wishing to donate their discount to RWA's Perseverance Fund should not use the discount code and notify workshops@rwa.org.
RWA Book Fair (Note: This is not the literacy autographing. This is an onsite bookstore.)
The book fair vendor will make every ordinary effort to obtain sufficient copies of recommended titles. However, the vendor cannot guarantee the title will be available for sale at the book fair.

Note: For special order titles, the author may need to make special arrangements with the onsite bookseller. Please contact workshops@rwa.org with questions.
