April 30, May 1 & 2, Radisson Hotel,
Proposal Deadline: Proposals are due February 28, 2010!
All proposals should relate directly to the general topic of the conference,
which focuses on understanding the characteristics, needs, and paths unique to
the highly and profoundly gifted. The theme of Types – Personality,
Learning, Thinking is important to the conference,
but are not the only subject we are discussing. In your abstract, please
specify the relationship of your proposed presentation to the topic and, if
appropriate, the theme.
Proposals for the Pre-conference workshops should be directed at Teachers, Administrators,
or Counselors. Each Pre-conference workshop period is 3 hours, though we
often run with a less formal structure for those sessions.
Proposals for the Conference can be for adult sessions (introductory,
intermediate, or advanced), young adult sessions, or children's workshops for
ages 6 - 12. Unlike the pre-conference sessions, all conference sessions are 65
minutes in length. Adult sessions must include a minimum of 20 minutes for
discussion and questions. The young adult sessions should be highly interactive
and concentrated, and allow for at least 60 minutes of discussion. The
children's workshops are to be discovery-based learning.
Accepted presenters will be responsible for expenses related to conference
attendance, including costs for travel, accommodations, and printing. The lead
presenter will receive a complementary conference registration; additional
presenters will receive a 50% reduction of their conference registration fee.
Overhead projectors and screens will be provided on request, and we have an LCD
projector available. Other audio-visual equipment may be available and should
be requested with the proposal.
