General Information
NASIG has a code of conduct for all conference participants. This conference will be an in-person event with in-person presenters. A virtual conference will be held at a different time of year and may have different content. More information about the virtual conference will be announced soon.
Presentations
Send your slides to either your Program Planning Committee (PPC) contact in advance or add them to SCHED directly yourself.
SCHED.com
SCHED will be available to speakers in the spring. Once available your liaison will let you know when it is time to review and update your profile. You can do this either by logging into Sched to edit your profile or you can send this to your PPC liaison. While there are no requirements for the information you provide, we do suggest you add information. You may also wish to add your slides to Sched.
Conference Handouts/Presentation Materials
Please note, speakers are required to provide a final copy of any presentation slides for loading into the NASIG Figshare account.
NASIG will be using a Figshare account to allow for cloud storage of speaker presentations and to manage conference handouts. Speaker presentations and handouts are to be e-mailed to the Communications Committee (CC) at communications@nasig.org for them to upload the materials to the NASIG Figshare site. Include the title of the presentation in the body of the email, the names of the presenters, and any URLs if you are using a website instead of a document as your handout(s). Speakers are encouraged to submit their slides prior to the conference.
While we are not requiring speakers to use this version of the presentations when you present, we strongly invite all to do so. For some guidelines in formatting a Figshare presentation, please see the following:

Creating Presentations That Don't Suck by Melissa Haendel
Consider accessibility of your presentations, including color contrast and text size. Posting your presentation ahead of time is another way to make your presentation more accessible to all attendees. Also credit any images and make your own rights clear. You may wish to add a Creative Commons license to increase its ability to be shared.
Your materials will be freely accessible to everyone; they will not be restricted to NASIG members and conference attendees. If you have questions, please contact Communications Committee at communications@nasig.org.
Conference Proceedings
Speakers are encouraged to write their own paper. If you are not the only speaker for your session, please be sure to communicate with your co-presenters when deciding who will be writing the paper.
The conference proceedings will be published Open Access in NASIG Proceedings on the Michigan Publishing Services platform as a standalone publication. Authors will be asked to sign a NASIG Proceedings Article Publishing Agreement.
The proceedings editors have developed Conference Proceedings Author Guidelines for your reference.
The deadline for submitting your paper is generally 6 to 8 weeks post-conference. Please contact proceedings@nasig.org if you have further questions.
Memorandum of Understanding
All speakers are required to sign and return a copy of the NASIG Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which you will receive via email from a member of the program planning committee (PPC). MOUs are due in February. If you have not received an MOU, please contact PPC at prog-plan@nasig.org.
Compensation
The details of your compensation for speaking at NASIG were communicated in your acceptance proposal. If you have any further questions about compensation, please see our policy for Annual Conference and Continuing Education Events.
