2015 CSTA Annual Conference

CSTA 2015

Submission Page

SUBMISSIONS CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT HAWAII TIME October 6, 2014 (GMT 11AM October 7, 2014, if we have the time zone correct). AFTER THAT TIME, NO FURTHER SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

If your proposal is accepted by the CSTA Conference Committee, you and your co-presenter(s) will need to register for the conference. You will be responsible for all your expenses including conference registration.

Before submitting, please read carefully. By submitting a proposal, you accept the following terms/conditions.

Submitters agree that if their proposal is accepted, they will provide a preliminary copy of Powerpoint or PDF of their presentation to the conference committee by May 5, 2015, so that advance publicity can be most effective.

Submitters agree in advance that if Internet outage or similar problems occur during the conference, they will be prepared with sufficient backup media to permit their presentations to be delivered effectively offline.

Submission of a paper, panel, session, workshop, or any other type of presentation at a Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) workshop or annual conference means that if the proposal is accepted, the author(s) will register for the conference and attend the conference to present the proposed paper, panel, session, or workshop. If drastic unforeseen circumstances prevent the presenting author from attending and presenting, it is his/her responsibility to arrange a qualified substitute presenter. If a substitution is necessary, the conference program committee chair(s) should be notified as early as possible with all pertinent details. At their discretion and dependent upon circumstances, the program chair(s) may elect to inform incoming program chairs about the substitution (or the failure to provide a substitute). This could jeopardize the acceptance of proposals from those involved for future conferences or workshops. In extreme cases, the CSTA Board may send a letter to the parent institution of a delinquent author expressing displeasure.

Sessions may be videotaped or photographed and by submitting a proposal you are consenting to have your image, content, and presentation recorded and redistributed by CSTA for promotional purposes.

CSTA proctors, on behalf of CSTA, will collect final presentations immediately after the workshop or session ends. These will be posted to the conference microsite roughly 30 days after the conference closes for CSTA members to reference.

A speaker agreement form will be distributed by CSTA if your proposal is accepted. All presenters must have a signed form before presenting at the CSTA conference. Presenter(s) agree to meet the deliverables and deadlines on the speakers agreement to the best of their ability.
