These designations will not be used at the 2012 conference, and all sessions that formerly held these designations will be one hour long. * The Program Planning Committee welcomes proposals that are still in the formative stages, and may work with potential presenters to focus their proposals further. * Proposals should name any particular products or services that are integral to the content of the presentation. However, as a matter of NASIG policy, programs should not be used as a venue to promote or attack any product, service, or institution. * Time management issues generally limit each session to two to three speakers for conference sessions. Panels of four (4) or more speakers must be discussed in advance with the Program Planning Committee (prog-plan@nasig.org) * NASIG has a reimbursement policy (http://www.nasig.org/conference_compensation.cfm) for conference speakers whose organizations do not cover expenses.
