Important Process Change: For the first time, each presenter and moderator will need to login individually to the submittal site to enter their personal details and confirm their participation in the proposal. The submitter cannot complete the proposal without the participation of all proposed speakers/moderators.
All complete proposals must be submitted and all speakers must login to complete their personal details by Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 9:00 pm EST.
In an effort to increase the quality of education session proposals and decrease duplicate proposal submissions, the proposal submitter will be charged a one-time processing fee of $25 for each education session proposal submitted. This will also allow us to better use the time of over 500 volunteer proposal reviewers. 100% of the fee proceeds will be donated to the Greenbuild Legacy Project; learn more about the Legacy Project.
