How do I access the Research Conference Speaker Ready Room?
(Coming soon) Visit https://ww3.aievolution.com/ntm1802/ and check "My Ready Room" for your sessions.

What audiovisual equipment can I use?

Please note: there will not be an Internet connection available for speakers in session rooms. Each session room will include a VGA hookup to an LCD projector and only one screen. You are responsible for providing a laptop. If you are bringing a Mac laptop, you must provide your own connector for the LCD projector. Also note that due to costly AV equipment fees, any changes to AV equipment requests made after the August 2017 proposal deadline will result in a fee charged to the speaker.

When will I receive notification about my speaker proposal?

Acceptance and rejection notification of proposals will be sent in November 2018. if you did not receive such an email, although you received notification that your proposal was submitted correctly, please check your junk email before contacting NCTM. For additional help, please contact Research Conference staff at 703-620-9840 or email at research@nctm.org

What happens if my contact information has changed? 

You can access the personal information for your proposal through the URL sent in your confirmation email. 

What do I do once I receive my acceptance letter?

• Make sure that your proposal is accurate. Did your email or address change? 
• All changes or corrections must be made in the Speaker's Corner of the proposal system. You can access this area using the URL in your acceptance letter.
• Meet the deadline. If you do not accept the invitation to present prior to the deadline, your presentation will not be included in the Research Conference program.

What are the limitations of how many times I can appear on the program?

• An individual may be a lead speaker on only one proposal. If not a lead speaker, an individual may be a co-speaker on up to two proposals.
• An individual may appear in the NCTM Research Conference program a maximum of two times. This does not apply to Research Committee members, discussants, or opening/plenary speakers.

Do all of my session's speakers need to register?

Yes. Whether your session has one speaker or several, all sessions speakers must be registered by the speaker registration deadline (Friday, December 8th, 2018). Speakers who are not registered by the deadline will not be listed in the program as on the session. If the session has one speaker, and that speaker does not register by the deadline, the session will be dropped from the program.

What if I have to cancel?

• Immediately contact Research Conference staff at 703-620-9840 or email at research@nctm.org.
• If you do not notify us in a timely manner, your session description might still appear in the program book. Please let us know as soon as possible.
• Do not be a no-show as this reflects negatively on the Research Conference and your reputation as a scholar in the field.

What about co-speakers? What if my co-speaker changes?

• If you are planning to have co-speakers, are they listed accurately? 
• No co-speakers will be added to the presentation once the proposal form has been submitted. 
• If there are co-speaker changes (change in affiliation or contact information, or if the co-speaker is no longer participating), get in touch with Research Conference staff as soon as possible.
• Changes received after the Speaker Accept/Decline deadline will not be printed in the program book.
