JAM 2008 Presenter FAQs

Q. How do I submit a Call for Session?
A. The Call for Sessions deadline has passed and we are no longer accepting proposal submissions.
    Thank you for your interest.

Q. How do I know if my session has been accepted and I am a confirmed presenter?
A. The Track Coordinator or JAM Conference Planners will notify you by mid-March if your session
     has been accepted or not.

Q. Do I have to register for the conference if I am a presenter?
A. All attendees, including presenters, must register for JAM. If your submission is accepted and
    you are a solo presenter, you receive one complimentary JAM registration if you are meeting all
    deadlines and presentation criteria set by Jenzabar. If you are co-presenting a session with
    another presenter, then you may split the complimentary registration so that you each receive a
    50% discount off your registration rate. Again, all deadlines and presentation criteria set by
    Jenzabar must be met. If a presenter does not meet deadlines or fails to present the accepted
    session, the attendee’s registration fee will be adjusted to the full registration rate and due
    upon receipt.

Q. Will session presenters have their expenses paid for?
A. Other than the registration discount offered to presenters as described above, Jenzabar does
     not provide assistance with travel or other conference-related expenses.

Q. Is the registration fee transferable to non-presenters?
A. No, registration fee discounts are not transferable to non-presenters. Limit one discount 
    per presenter.

Q. How long does my presentation have to be?
A. Presenters will be assigned either a 45-minute or 60-minute timeslot. When preparing your
    presentation, be mindful to leave time for questions and answers.

Q. Can I modify my session submission?
A. To modify your session information, please contact JAM2008@jenzabar.net.

Q. How and to whom do I submit my presentation and handouts?
A. Presentations must be turned in at JAM to the Information Desk in the Universe Room. If for
    some reason a presenter did not turn in a presentation, the presentation may be submitted to
    JAM2008@jenzabar.net by June 8, 2008.

Q. How do I label my session presentation and handouts for submissions?
A. Session number and complete title of session. Example: #501 EX Enrollment Track Opening

Q. Is there an official JAM PowerPoint Presentation to use for my session?
A. Yes, the JAM PowerPoint template is available for download. Please click here.

Q. What AV can I expect when I arrive in my presentation room?
A. The standard room setup for JAM includes:
     · One laptop
     · One projection unit with screen that is compatible with the size of the room
     · One presenter table
     · Internet connection provided (IP address will be available one week prior to conference)
     · One wired lavaliere microphone for meeting rooms accommodating more than 75 attendees

Q. Can I bring my own laptop to do my presentation?
A. Connecting your own laptop to the AV systems at the conference is strongly discouraged. All AV
    equipment is tested and set for the computer in the room. Hooking another computer to the
    existing system may require adjustments before and after your session, which could also affect
    the next presenter. If using a different computer is absolutely necessary, please
    make arrangements well in advance by e-mailing jam2008@jenzabar.net. If you use your own
    laptop, we will not be able to support connecting it to the Internet or the JAM LAN.

Q. Will Jenzabar arrange for phone lines, flipcharts, and/or whiteboards in the
    presentation rooms?
A. No, these will not be provided.

Q. Will there be someone around to assist me in case of any problems?
A. Yes, Jenzabar IT staff will be available to help with issues. There is a house phone located in each
    session room. The phone number for Jenzabar IT staff will be posted above each phone. In
    addition, there will be an IT Help Desk at JAM.
