[Igc] NSGIC Call for Content - September in Boise

[Gail Ewart]

All,
The NSGIC annual conference is in Boise this year, September 25-29. We have the opportunity to showcase Idaho's best achievements. If you have an idea, contact me. This is the first call for content directed to NSGIC reps, but we can identify opportunities early on because of our host status. I will bring the ideas & abstracts to the conference committee.
First Call for Content: NSGIC 2011 Annual Conference
This is the first call for presentations for the 2011 Annual Conference.
Please consider submitting an abstract for the conference. There are three different types of presentations at the NSGIC Annual:
Ignite session - an Ignite Session consists of 4 to 7 presenters, each giving a seven-minute presentation. Time for questions/answers is allocated after all the presentations are complete. Your presentation cannot take more than 7 minutes and should have no more than 20 slides.
Panel Discussion - a Panel discussion consists of 2 or more speakers that give a short introduction to a topic followed by a vigorous discussion on the topic.
Traditional presentation - A traditional presentation is a 15 to 30 minute presentation on a single theme. Speakers are typically grouped together in a 90 or 120 minute slot on the agenda.
The focused content items for this year's conference include:

 *   NextGen 911
 *   Wildfire - Planning/Mitigation/Suppression
 *   Structures
 *   Science Applications

When submitting a presentation, please include the following: Presenter's name, contact info (email, cell phone) title, organization, presentation title and a 2 - 3 sentence abstract. Please remember to list the presentation type (ignite, panel, traditional). Remember, NSGIC does not pay for travel and all presenters are expected to register for the conference. Single day registrations are available.
