Presenter Expectations

ICGS is committed to providing outstanding professional development opportunities for our delegates. Presenters at all Coalition events agree to the following expectations and guidelines.

Presenters are expected to:

• Obtain financial support from their school/organization for registration fees, travel, and expenses to attend the professional development gathering, and register by the appropriate presenter registration deadline.
• Participate in ICGS programs as full attendees and, as such, be present and engaged throughout the event.
• Make their own hotel and travel arrangements, for which they are financially responsible.
• If there are co-presenters, understand that the primary contact is responsible for corresponding with her/his co-presenter(s).
• Give ICGS permission to edit the title and description for all accepted submissions for promotional purposes.

Speaker Guidelines:

• The material presented should be appropriate for the audience and should not include profanity, vulgarities, or mature content.
• The presentation must not denigrate nor insult any person or group based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or political ideology.
• Incitement of hatred and provocation of violence are expressly prohibited.
• Fundraising or sales pitches of any type are not permitted.
• ICGS personnel reserve the right to interrupt the speaker and/or stop the program if any of the above criteria are violated.

Please note that, generally speaking, the conducting of workshops/sessions is pro bono work—there is no remuneration or honoraria offered to presenters. However, a special discounted presenter rate will be offered to all those whose proposals are accepted by ICGS.
