The 2010 NCCEP/GEAR UP Conference will look forward to the next era
of implementation for GEAR UP. Our theme this year, GEARing UP for
Excellence: Linking Programs, Practice and Policy, will provide the
context for the networking and professional development opportunities
offered at the conference. We encourage all GEAR UP sites to submit a
proposal to present on a topic that reflects the innovative work you are
doing, and has never before been shared with the GEAR UP
constituency at an annual conference or Capacity Building
session.
Completing the Call for Presentations Submission
Form
Please complete one application for each proposed presentation. Each
partnership may submit a maximum of 5 applications. All
presenters are required to register and pay the conference registration
fees. All presenters must be registered and paid in full by May 21,
2010. Send completed submission form to Susan_Shimko@edpartnerships.org
by January 22, 2010. Please print or type.
In order to ensure that we are able to highlight as many GEAR UP
programs as possible, we are instituting the following guidelines for
submitting an application to present at the 2010 conference:
- An individual may appear as a presenter or convener on no more
than two applications.
- NCCEP reserves the right to combine similar sessions and edit titles
and descriptions as necessary.
- Concurrent sessions are scheduled according to the track they
represent. We regret that we will not be able to honor requests for
specific presentation times and days.
- Speaker substitutions are discouraged. Prior to submitting an
application, please be sure all proposed speakers and conveners will be
able to attend the 2010 NCCEP/GEAR UP Annual Conference.
- We welcome speakers and presenters from the vendor and sponsor
community but ask that these presentations be non-marketing in
nature.
- Sessions on Monday and Tuesday are one hour and 15 minutes in
duration; sessions on Wednesday morning are one hour and 45 minutes.
Most sessions will be held in theater-style rooms to maximize seating
capacity. Rooms feature a podium or riser as the focal point.
