Conference Notes: 1. Remember, this is a working
Conference. It is not like presentations at the NCA or Regional
conventions. We are hoping for lots of discussion out which will come some
possible recommendations and/or resolutions that we can take back to our
various forensic organizations for consideration. Possibly some changes
we can make in how we run our programs or even coach our students. 2. The topic areas have been divided
into the two groups. The first group will have 3 sessions on Friday,
and the second group will have 1 session on Friday and 2 sessions on
Saturday. In the first meeting of each topic area, the
papers/presentations will be made. If time allows, discussion can
begin. The following two sessions allow for the continued discussion on
the topic area - and other items that might grow out of the papers and
discussion. 3. The final session on Saturday
afternoon is when each group will be able to present a brief summary of their
discussion and put before the entire assembly, any recommendations and/or
resolutions for everyone to consider and discuss. Each group will have
a certain time period and then after discussion, a vote will be taken to
accept and pass the recommendations and/or resolutions. The passed
items will not have any binding force, but can be used for further discussion
and consideration by various forensic organizations and/or programs as noted
in Number 1 above. 4. All of the papers and presentations,
along with a summary of the discussion and anything considered at the final
assembly will be put together and published in the Proceedings of the
Conference. Each person attending will receive a copy of the Proceedings, and
they may also be placed on the web page along with the past Proceedings from
Developmental Conferences on Individual Events. 5. Dress Code for the Conference:
This is a working conference - no need to dress up. Come and be
casual. We are not here to impress
anyone with how we are dress. LOL Being
comfortable is a key. It is summer, and in the summer, Peoria can be quite
warm. Dress accordingly. Of course, if you want to go out at
night - say to the casino then you might want to bring something for that
occasion. LOL 6. Banquet on
Saturday Evening: This is included in your conference
fee. It will be held at the Pere Marquette
hotel. It gives us all an opportunity to
round out the conference, to have a nice relaxing social evening together
before we head home, be it later that evening or on Sunday morning. I
think you will enjoy the dinner. 7. Papers/Presentations:
Remember, if you are a presenter in a topic area, please bring a hard copy of
your paper/presentation and also have it on a DV to turn in. This will
help in making sure we get it all into the Proceedings. If you make
some last minutes changes, time will be allowed to make those adjustments. 8. If you are not staying at the
Pere Marquette, please let me know so we can have a
packet for you at your hotel/motel. If you arrive after 9:00 p.m., and
have not paid your fees, you can do that on Friday morning. Please contact Larry Schnoor, lschnoor@hickorytech.net, with any
questions about the conference. |
