Call for Presenters Instructions
Career & Technical Education (CTE), Annual February Conference
February 6-7, 2018
Manhattan Conference Center
______
Overview: All proposals are welcome. Priority will be given to sessions that illustrate successful partnerships among presenters (i.e. secondary-postsecondary-Business/Industry) and address current issues in CTE or innovative ideas.
Sessions should focus on practical application of strategies or improvements that could be implemented in any school in Kansas, regardless of school size or region. Our goal is for all attendees to leave with the tools to implement the innovative ideas shared at the conference. Though your session may include brief information on a product or vendor that you found to be beneficial to your topic, this is not the appropriate venue for a sales pitch. Those wishing to sell a product at the conference are encouraged to purchase an exhibit table.
Schedule: Sessions will be scheduled for 1 hour unless additional time is requested. Session times will be scheduled in a manner to provide the best mix of offerings to attendees.
Compensation: Conference presenters will receive 50% off the registration cost, an $80 savings. Discounted registration is limited to 2 presenters per session. Individuals presenting, but not attending the full conference, do not need to complete conference registration.
Technology: A LCD Projector (Windows operating system compatible) with VGA Connection and screen will be provided in all meeting rooms. Free High Speed Wireless Internet is available throughout the building.
Presenters are expected to provide their own laptop computer and any other materials needed for the session.
