User, vendor and consultant participation in 7x24 Exchange Conferences is acknowledged and encouraged. However, in keeping with 7x24 Exchange's mission, presentations must be educational, not promotional, in tone and content. The group is primarily driven by user interest; overt selling is inappropriate and must be avoided. The audience is largely composed of problem-solvers. Experience indicates they respond best to real-world, case-study-type presentations, but are receptive to new ideas or concepts, if they are well-presented and relevant.
I certify that the tone and content of my presentation will be educational, not promotional.
It is 7x24 Exchange's policy that speakers are guests of 7x24 Exchange for this conference and therefore the conference fee is waived. This policy applies to one speaker per organization. Additional speakers from the same organization must submit the appropriate conference registration fee. All travel and additional expenses are the responsibility of the speaker.
I understand that the conference fee is waived for one speaker per organization, and that any additional speakers from a single organization must submit the appropriate conference registration fee.
7x24 Exchange does not permit additional speakers or replacement speakers not included in the proposal.
I certify this proposal is complete and ready for review.
All conference sessions are videotaped and 7x24 Exchange may decide to use or sell these recordings. By submitting this form you grant 7x24 Exchange permission to use/sell/duplicate any such recordings. You also agree to release 7x24 Exchange from any loss you may encounter in conjunction with participation in this event not resulting from 7x24 Exchange's gross negligence.
I have read, understand and will adhere to 7x24 Exchange Presentation Guidelines.

7x24 Exchange requires that all presentations be the speaker’s original work, that the speaker obtain advance written permission to include any third-party content, and that the speaker indemnify & hold 7x24 Exchange harmless from any claims arising from 7x24 Exchange’s presentation, use or distribution of the speaker’s presentation

I certify that my presentation & I will meet these requirements.
