Proposals will close on September 16, 2011.

Please note the following:

* Formerly, NASIG conferences included sessions with the

designations of Strategy” and “Tactic.” These

designations will not be used at the 2012 conference, and

all sessions that formerly held these designations will be

one hour long.

* The Program Planning Committee welcomes proposals that are

still in the formative stages, and may work with potential

presenters to focus their proposals further.

* Proposals should name any particular products or services

that are integral to the content of the presentation.

However, as a matter of NASIG policy, programs should not be

used as a venue to promote or attack any product, service,

or institution.

* Time management issues generally limit each session to two

to three speakers for conference sessions. Panels of four

(4) or more speakers must be discussed in advance with the

Program Planning Committee (prog-plan@nasig.org)

* NASIG has a reimbursement policy

<http://www.nasig.org/conference_compensation.cfm> for

conference speakers whose organizations do not cover

expenses.

Inquiries may be sent to the PPC Chair (Michael Hanson) and

We look forward to a great conference in Nashville!
