• Sessions are scheduled at the workshop for either Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday, and are scheduled based on room type availability, audio-visual needs, time blocks, session tracks, and other information.

The application normally takes 15-20 minutes to complete, and will time out for security reasons after 60 minutes.

The application does not allow you to save your data once you start, so if your system crashes or you lose the connection, your information may be lost; your submission is not sent until you hit the final send button on the last page of the system.

NAI has evaluated and revamped the tracks for the National Workshop concurrent sessions. You will find a much-simplified, 3-track system of organizing presentations.

We have also added an evaluation and assessment section so our proposal reviewers know how you track the success of the topic you are sharing.

• The Programs track refers to all personal programs regardless of content; delivery, techniques, research related to programs, etc.
   
• The Media track refers to all nonpersonal media regardless of content; media types, design, techniques, writing, research related to media, etc.
   
• The Management track refers to all management concerns; planning, facilities, budget, training, personnel, volunteerism, funding, operations, evaluation, research related to management, etc.

Proposals will be accepted for standard 60-minute sessions, extended 120-minute sessions or Marketplace of Ideas (poster sessions). If your proposal is interactive, you might want to think about a 2-hour Marketplace of Ideas session and interact more informally with workshop participants.

You will have a chance to print a copy for your records at the end of the application.
