While we will offer a $100 honorarium per workshop (not per presenter), it is

registration deadline (February 15 th) will have their presentation removed
from the conference workshop.
When two or more people are presenting, the contact presenter is responsible
for notifying all co-presenters of the status of the proposal. Sessions selected
for the conference should not have the content significantly changed once
accepted. Presenters are responsible for providing session handouts.
In addition to workshop alignment with summit mission, values, goals, and
intended outcomes, the Workshop Committee will consider balance in the
range of topics, level of expertise, interests covered, and professional and
geographic distribution of the workshop presenters when accepting
proposals.
