About the Conference:

The CTCNet Annual National Conference has been the premier event in the 
community technology field throughout the past decade - no other 
conference draws representatives from so many of the most outstanding 
community technology programs together with community leaders, non-profit 
practitioners, funders and policymakers. With attendance expected to reach 
over 700, this year's conference will be the best yet! We're looking for 
dynamic presentations and workshops on topics such as:

  a.. Programs and Curricula;=20
  b.. Policy, Advocacy and Organizing;=20
  c.. Technology; and=20
  d.. Organizational Development.=20
About Presenting & Sessions:
Sessions should be interactive - the most effective (and popular) sessions 
are those that involve attendees in meaningful and creative ways. Based on 
a great deal of input from conference evaluations over the past several 
years, preference will be given to applicants proposing workshops oriented 
toward building skills and resources, rather than panel presentations.

Sessions should also fit the learning tracks of the conference. 
Information on this year's conference tracks can be found on our Presenter 
Opportunities page http://www2.ctcnet.org/conf/2003/present/session.asp. Most sessions will be 90 minutes long, but there may be opportunities 
for two hour sessions. Applicants should be flexible to hold their 
proposed sessions on any day of the conference.

CTCNet reviews each session proposal and takes care to ensure varied 
content and perspectives. All presenters should be open to co-presenting 
if CTCNet believes it is appropriate and should consider issues of 
diversity and disability access in their sessions.  Presenters should be 
open to considering the connections between their focus and disability 
access, and willing to discuss their presentation with a representative 
from the Alliance for Technology Access if CTCNet recommends it.=20

Session Presenters and Organizers will receive a waived registration fee 
for the full day of the conference on which their session falls, or a 
discount of $100 off the $220 conference registration fee if they are 
attending the entire conference.
