What is a program exhibit?

How to submit a proposal:

Send an email to Heather Hirsch, conference coordinator, hirs0090@umn.edu  to submit a summary that describes your program, the target audiences you hope to reach, and an overview of lessons you plan to share with peers. Materials created through the program do not need to be submitted for review, but they should be described or itemized in your summary. Exhibitors are strongly encouraged to share copies of program materials at the exhibit booth. Program exhibit applications will be reviewed for quality and relevance to conference themes by planning committee members. There will be no charge to exhibit your program if you are a Minnesota Cancer Alliance member. Non-Alliance member organizations will be asked to pay a $25 fee.

Notification and Receipt of Submission

You will receive an immediate notice that your proposal has been submitted and received. Acceptance notices along with poster dimensions and other logistical details will be sent by email to the submitting author no later than March 15, 2011.
