5th Annual IL Statewide Transition Conference Registration Information:
Presenter Information

A big THANK YOU to all of the Presenters!

We know many of you do this on your own time and at your own expense. Thank you so much for realizing how important this conference is and for being willing to participate. We had many stellar proposals this year, so the task of choosing presentations was not an easy one. We are extremely grateful to each of you for what you are doing to make good transitions for youth with disabilities a reality in Illinois.

Presenters' Registration:

One presenter from each presentation group per session is entitled to complimentary registration (i.e. conference fee waived) for the full conference. All presenters will be provided a complimentary lunch on the day they present. In order to accurately plan for meals and materials, all presenters must register. There will be no conference fees for presenters who are coming only to present and will not be attending other conference sessions.

The completed online Speaker Registration process will help conference planners accurately plan for your participation and allow us to include you as our lunch guest. Conference registration fees will be waived for 1 presenter per session. There are 3 registration options for presenters who will be presenting/attending the conference. Please register as outlined in the following instructions:

• Presenter who is only presenting at his/her own session:
  Choose “Speaker Registration - Waived Person” and indicate whether or not you will attend lunch.
  
  
• Presenter who is attending the conference (in addition to presenting) and will be using the waiver:
  Choose “Speaker Registration - Waived Person“ and follow the instructions to register for the conference.
  
  
• Presenter who is attending the conference (in addition to presenting) and will NOT be using the waiver:
  Choose “Speaker Registration (Additional Registrations Beyond the One Waiver per Accepted Proposal)”

All presenters, including co-presenters, will need to complete the online Speaker Registration process offered by Complete Conference Coordinators.

Check in:

Once you have checked in at Registration and received your name tag, please come to the Presenters Table and let us know you are here. Presenters' Check-In will be set up very close to the Registration area and we look forward to meeting each of you.

Cancellation:

If you have an emergency and need to cancel, please let us know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Please contact Susy Woods at 217-638-8411 if something happens and you cannot do your presentation.

Presenters’ Hospitality Room:

A hospitality room will be provided on Monday and Tuesday, located in the Serenity Room on the second floor, as a token of our appreciation of your commitment to positively impact transition outcomes for youth with disabilities/special health care needs. This will be a place for presenters to meet and do last minute preparations or relax with a cup of coffee.

Handouts and Accessible Formats

Presenters will be notified of the required number of handouts along with the number of accessible formats needed for dissemination during your presentation by September 21, 2009.

By request, the committee will assist with accessible formats (including Braille, compact disk, and large print).
