COMMERCIAL WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

CSTA is now accepting proposals from confirmed exhibitors for commercial workshops for the 2011 California Science Education Conference in Pasadena. Only confirmed exhibitors may present a commercial workshop. Proposals from non-exhibiting companies will not be considered.

Please read the information on this page fully before you begin the proposal process. We recommend that you print this page.

Before you begin the workshop proposal process, please have ready:

  1. Your complete contact information.

  2. A detailed description of your commercial workshop for the review committee. Please describe activities, materials used, lecture outline, and any other information that describes the content and format of your session. We recommend that you cut and paste from a word processing program.

  3. A brief description (max: 30 words) of your workshop to be printed in the conference program. This is your opportunity to tell conference attendees about your workshop.

Commercial Workshop Proposal Submission Guidelines

Format
Commercial workshops are one hour in length. Commercial workshops are held concurrently with non-commercial workshops on the Friday and Saturday of the conference. 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.

Presentation Fee
There is a fee of $100 per one-hour workshop. This fee must be paid by July 16, 2011.

Deadlines
Commercial workshop proposals must be submitted by June 1, 2011. Late submissions will be considered on a space-available basis but may not appear in the conference registration or promotional materials. All proposals will be evaluated 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.
