For Speakers

Thank you for agreeing to serve as a speaker at the 2009 NSF ERC Annual Meeting.  We recognize that much time and thought is necessarily devoted to preparing a first-class presentation, and we greatly appreciate your contribution of those resources to helping us design and deliver a valuable and memorable meeting for the ERC program.

To the right are links to various speaker guidelines, depending upon your specific role in the meeting.  We tried to make the expectations clear, and welcome feedback that will help us improve upon that.  There is general information for all speakers; speaker role-specific guidelines (e.g., moderator v. presenter, breakout v. plenary v. Closed; and additional information for “outside” speakers.

Note to NSF Speakers: If you are attending the meeting solely in connection with your speaking role, and do not intend to participate in one of the lunches or the reception, you do not need to register or pay the registration fee.

Please know that this speaker resource is not intended as a replacement for personal contact from the meeting planning team; we just want you to be able to access the necessary information at your convenience.  At any time, please feel free to call or email us.
