COMO Program Proposal Form Guidelines * All presenters are expected to register for the conference and pay registration fees. * Please observe all deadlines. Proposals submitted after May 31, 2007 may be rejected, particularly if the conference program schedule is already full. Please fill in the program proposal form completely. Incomplete proposals may be subject to rejection. Program presenters who are members of COMO organizations (GAIT, GEPA, GLA, and GLMA) are ineligible to receive honorariums or travel/housing expenses. Pre-Conference programs must pay for themselves. Registration fees must cover all costs involved, including honorariums and travel/housing expenses. COMO does not make travel arrangements for speakers and presenters. Presenters and/or the proposers are responsible for making these arrangements. Travel expenses should be based on the lowest available economy fares. Honorariums should be kept as low as possible. By clicking the submit button below I indicate that I have read the guidelines, agree to abide by them, and will register for the conference.
