2011 SPDG Regional Meetings: SIG Marketplace Session - Call for Proposals!
As many of you know a hallmark of the SPDG Regional Meetings is the SIG Marketplace Session. This session is an opportunity for SPDGs to showcase a tool, product, or resource successfully implemented in the last year that can be replicated by other state projects. This year we are structuring the segment differently. Instead of large group presentations, we'll coordinate two 45-minute poster sessions. For each 45 minute segment, 4-6 presenters will sit/stand at separate tables to present to participants simultaneously. It will be less formal in nature. That is, participants are free to come and go, and the number of people at each table will vary. In order to organize this session successfully, we need 3-4 presenters for each of the two poster session rounds (a total of 6-8 presentations). So far, we have identified one presenter for each regional conference. If you are interested in presenting, please email Audrey & Jennifer at adesj...@uoregon.edu & jennifer.cof...@ed.gov by January 24. In your email provide the following information: - 2-3 sentence description of your presentation - identify the target audience of the tool/resource/product - indicate if you need internet access - what conference you are attending - DC, New Orleans, or Portland. Examples of what was shared at the 2009 conferences can be viewed at: http://signetwork.org/content_pages/30. Potential presenters: We will have 1-2 laptops in the room, but not enough for each presenter so we ask that presenters bring their own laptops. In addition, we'd like presenters to make copies of the materials to disseminate to participants. We'll provide participant counts to presenters the week of January 24. Thank you in advance for considering this opportunity to present to your SPDG network colleagues.
