Commercial workshop rooms are set classroom style
with 6' - 8' tables and chairs.
Compensation
There is no compensation for commercial workshop presenters.
Commercial workshop presenters will be provided with
a badge as an exhibitor only. Commercial workshop
presenters will not be issued a separate conference
presenter badge.
Expenses
Commercial workshop presenters are NOT reimbursed
for the cost of materials used in their session, nor
are they reimbursed for meals, airfare, lodging, or
any other travel-related expenses.
Co-Presenters
The lead presenter is the person submitting the proposal.
The lead presenter will have the opportunity to add
one co-presenter to the workshop description before
the program is printed. The co-presenter is listed in
the program but does not receive any compensation or
correspondence from CSTA. The co-presenter must also
be included in the list of booth staff for the exhibiting
company.
Audio-Visual
Equipment
CSTA provides an overhead projector and screen in all
rooms. All
other AV equipment, including microphones, speakers,
internet connection, LCD projectors, and phone lines,
must be supplied by or rented by the presenter at the
presenter’s own expense. Presenters
are allowed to bring their own AV equipment but may
be charged a patch or hookup fee by the in-house audio-visual
supplier. CSTA will not be responsible for equipment
brought or rented by any presenter. For equipment rental
information, contact the Conference
Manager.

There is a fee of $100 per one-hour workshop. This fee
must be paid by July 16, 2010.
Deadlines
Commercial workshop proposals
must be submitted by July 14, 2010.
Late submissions will be considered on a space-available
basis but may not appear in the conference registration

by the review committee and not all proposals will be
accepted. Please note that we receive many more proposals
than we are able to accept.
Selection Process

accepted from each proposing company will depend on
the total number of proposals received and the number
of available commercial workshop time slots. CSTA will

proposal by July 19, 2010 via mail.
