Lifesavers 2008 Conference Information for Speakers
Moderator/Speaker Registration Fee (back to top) Everyone must complete a registration form. Registration options are: One-Day Registration: The registration fee is waived if you attend Lifesavers for one day only–the day of your session. Lifesavers will provide you with a name badge and your meals for that one day. When you complete the registration form, check Moderator/ Speaker (one day, day of presentation) and put $0 in the total amount due. Multi-Day Registration: If you will be attending Lifesavers for more than one day, we ask that you register at the Moderator/Speaker Rate of $250. Meeting Room Setup and Audiovisual Equipment (back to top) Speakers must provide their own laptop. All meeting rooms will be theater style seating and set with head table, podium microphone, LCD projector with screen, and laser pointer. If you need additional equipment beyond what is listed above, click here to download an audiovisual request form (forms are due March 21, 2008). Lifesavers does provide most audiovisual equipment requested, however, some equipment may be cost prohibitive. In this case, we will contact you to discuss alternative equipment. Financial Assistance (back to top) The Lifesavers Conference is a non-profit program and is funded through donations, registrations and exhibit fees. Our goal is to provide a quality conference to the largest possible audience while keeping the registration and exhibit fees low. We are able to accomplish this by asking moderators/speakers to bear their own registration fees and expenses. Lifesavers offers financial assistance to help defray the cost of the registration fee and other conference expenses. A limited number of awards will be made available to those demonstrating a clear financial need, and priority will be given to those who have not previously received assistance. If you are awarded financial aid you will receive a check to apply to expenses as you see fit. You will then need to fill out a registration form and send it in with the $250 fee, and make your own travel and hotel reservations. The average aid given in 2007 was $600. Click here for the Financial assistance application. Complete the section that reads "for speakers only." The deadline for applying is February 15, 2008 but applications from speakers and moderators will be accepted after that date. Travel/Hotel Reservations (back to top) For hotel reservations, click on the "Travel/Hotel" button. You are responsible for making your own hotel and travel reservations. Handouts (back to top) In the spirit of Portland’s efforts to be more environmentally friendly (and encourage others to be), Lifesavers will be going GREEN! As part of this effort we will NOT be printing workshop handouts to distribute during the conference, rather we are posting them on this website prior to the conference so attendees can print handouts they are interested in to bring with them.
