POLICIES
Compensation Policy: The compensation/remuneration per tutorial is US $ 700. The compensation is per tutorial, thus multiple presenters will share the compensation. Tutorial presenters will also receive free conference registration for the HOTI ’08 Symposium. Presenters will not be paid, in full or partially, for cancelled tutorials. Although presenters will be responsible for their own travel and accommodation arrangements, they might be considered for receiving travel financial assistance, if determined by the HOTI ’08 committee.
Cancellation Policy: HOTI ’08 committee reserves the right to cancel a tutorial should there be inadequate attendance, for instance, less than 5 persons registered for the tutorial, as of the cancellation date listed below. The HOTI ’08 committee reserves also the right to cancel the tutorial for any other reason, by the cancellation date, although every effort will be taken to notify the speaker prior to that date should that be warranted.
The Symposium will provide the necessary audio-visual equipment for delivering the tutorials. Accepted tutorial speakers will be requested to provide their tutorial material to be printed and distributed to the registered tutorial attendees, according to the dates below.
