Call for Speakers: 2015 Freezone Convention

FZ Convention 2015 Call for Speakers

As you likely know by now, the 2015 Freezone Convention will be held in Reno the weekend of June 5-7, with a theme of OT Phenomena.

This year, we’re doing our best to plan ahead, which means arranging earlier who will be speaking on what topic. The sooner we know the agenda, the more information we can share with people who might be interested in attending the conference – which means we can attract more people to do so.

As a result, that means we are asking people who are interested in speaking to tell us about it NOW. And by asking for presentation materials ahead of time, we can minimize technology frustrations.

Important Dates

Call for Speakers begins: March 1.

Call for Speakers closes (deadline): March 15.

Accept/Reject notifications will be sent by email: March 30.

Presentations (PowerPoint, etc.) due: May 15.

Things to keep in mind:

·      You can submit as many proposals as you like.

·      There is no payment or other recompense for speaking. You have to pay to attend just like everybody else. (It’s an all-volunteer conference after all.)

·      The theme is OT Phenomena, but don’t be shy if your proposal is on another topic entirely.

·      We want all who speak at and attend the Freezone Conference to feel welcome and included.
