Call For 2013 Elective Session Speakers

The Directors and conference committee of IRUG are planning the 2013 agenda and elective sessions for the 36th Annual Conference. Many of you have expressed interest in participating and submitted an elective session proposal.

There are still available slots on the agenda for elective sessions conducted by the associate members and their retail partners. The conference planning committee is reviewing and scheduling the requests for sessions in advance to avoid last minute entries in the spring. This call is to Associate Members and their Retail partners to team up now, and share their experiences, success stories, and promote your Store System Solutions.

This year IRUG conducted a series of surveys electronically, with the IRUG membership, to determine the topics that would be of interest for the 2013 Conference. When submitting your session proposal, please select a topic from the list on the proposal form that best matches your area of expertise and focus. Sessions will be accepted addressing topics not selected by the retail members, however, your session attendance may be as anticipated.

Proposal Guidelines:
To ensure the representation of as many organizations and individuals as possible, the Conference Program Planning Committee may limit acceptance of proposals to two. In order to maintain a high degree of participation in sessions, sessions are 45 minutes long and limited to two presenters. Each session room will be provided with the required AV equipment.  Presentations which include retailer participation will be given primary consideration.
