What else should I know?
Session Submitter: The individual who submits your proposal will serve as the point of contact with ICE. Their responsibilities include accepting to present the session on behalf of all session presenters, confirming session information, and ensuring deadlines are met. Please ensure the Session Submitter is aware of their duties.
Promotion Limitation: Promotion of specific product solutions or services is not permitted in educational sessions. Inclusion of such material may preclude the organizers from being allowed to submit proposals for future ICE conferences. Please be careful that your case study does not accidentally turn into a product solution showcase.
Cancellation Policy: Once a session has been accepted and printed in promotional materials, it imposes a serious burden to ICE to cancel. Please do not submit a proposal if you are uncertain that you will be able to fulfill your obligation to organize and conduct the session.
Conference Registration Required: Those submitting a proposal understand that all speakers listed as part of the presentation team must register for the ICE Exchange conference as well as assume responsibility for any expenses related to travel to the Exchange if accepted; there are no exceptions to this policy.
