Proposal Submission Guidelines
The person submitting the proposal abstract is responsible for signing the Presenter Contract, contacting all co-presenters and for all details of abstract submission, communication with presenters, presentation format, audio-visual requests, and payment of fees. All presenters must register for the Conference. LAMFT will provide audio-visual equipment (i.e., DVD/VCR, TV/Monitor, Overhead Projector/Screen, Flipcharts) at no cost, if reserved by the submission deadline. Regular hotel rental fees will be charged to presenters for any audio-visual equipment ordered after November 5, 2010, or for additional equipment not listed above. Copies for handouts will also be the responsibility of presenters. An estimate of registered participants will be provided by the conference coordinators to assist in planning.
No more than four (4) presenters may be listed on any submission. A maximum of two (2) proposal submissions is encouraged. Individuals should not appear as presenter/co-presenter in more than two (2) proposals.
Priority in selection will be given to those abstracts that involve clear relevance to the conference theme as well as factors related to creativity, systemic implications, demonstration of the clinical work, and opportunities for participant involvement. All proposal guidelines must be strictly followed. No incomplete submissions will be reviewed. Proposals must be postmarked no later than Friday, November 5, 2010.
