<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:11pt"><span>Contributors from all areas of healthcare are welcome to propose sessions at the HIMSS Spring Conference. Oregon HIMSS relies on its presenters to provide top-notch educational sessions with a strong bias towards practical, pragmatic content. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:11pt"><span> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:11pt"><span>Please review the following guidelines. The Program Committee may disregard submissions that consistently ignore these guidelines. <strong>Submission deadline is April 10, 2015.</strong> Decisions will be made and communicated by April 16, 2015. Acceptances or rejections will come via email. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:11pt"><span> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;font-size:12pt"><strong>Guidelines:</strong></p>
<ul><li style="font-size:11pt"><span>Submit only one form for each session, regardless of number of presenters. Presenters may submit as many proposals (each with its own form) as they wish. </span></li></ul>
<ul><li style="font-size:11pt"><span>The form must be completed and submitted via email so that we have exact information for each speaker and proposed session and to facilitate Program Committee communications. </span></li></ul>
<ul><li style="font-size:11pt"><span>Sessions will be 60 minutes in length, including time for questions. Oregon HIMSS most successful speakers assume basic knowledge and plunge right into their topic. </span><span> </span></li></ul>
<ul><li style="font-size:11pt"><span>If you are a vendor, please note that Oregon HIMSS prefers that vendors be represented and products marketed in the exhibit area. However, we are interested in vendor proposals or presentations done in tandem with a client, with the client being the lead presenter. The emphasis of the presentation should be on planning, design, implementation and results so that our attendees can learn how technological solutions and thought leadership drive business results. To maximize chances for selection, vendor proposals of all types should state clearly how the presentation will add value to the attendees' experience. <strong>Oregon HIMSS sessions should not be used as a platform for either a sales pitch or a product demonstration. </strong></span><strong> </strong></li></ul>
<ul><li style="font-size:11pt"><span>All presenters and co-presenters must register for the conference. This allows our program committee to have accurate registration and meal counts. Presenters and co-presenters are responsible for their own travel expenses. Accepted presentations will receive 1 (one) complimentary registration for the conference per session. This does not include optional social events. Session presenters and co-presenters may determine who will utilize the complimentary registration and note this on the registration form. </span><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span><span style="font-size:11pt"> </span></li></ul>
