February 13-16, 2013 Deadline for submitting proposals is June 1, 2012. Read the following before submitting your proposal. You will be asked to verify acceptance of these policies when you submit your clinic proposal. Please print this page for your records. TMEA provides opportunities for individuals to propose workshops and clinics and for companies to sponsor workshops and clinics at our annual Clinic/Convention. The 2013 TMEA Convention will feature the National 2013 TI:ME Music Technology Conference. All sessions related to the use of instructional technology will be delivered through TI:ME's sessions except for the Product Showcase sessions. All sponsored clinics are to be pedagogical in nature, and are not to be used strictly to sell or endorse products; however, introduction of new products or materials is permissible. Important factors in the selection process of sessions will be:
Rental of booth space is not a guarantee of selection of a sponsored session Decisions of the convention planning chair/committee are final. *** PRODUCT SHOWCASES ***If you are interested in presenting a product demonstration showcase at the 2013 TMEA Clinic/Convention, please visit the Product Showcase information page. Audio/Visual EquipmentTMEA will provide only the following equipment for each clinic:
Clinicians will be responsible for bringing any adapters to connect to our equipment and all other equipment needed for the session. A laptop computer is the recommended method of playing audio files, video files (including DVDs), and using whiteboard/PowerPoint type programs on this equipment. A CD or mp3 player could also be used to play audio files. This A/V setup allows the clinician total control over their presentation in terms of preparation and presentation. Audio RecordingsTMEA will record the audio portion of all sessions and make the recordings available to convention registrants who choose to use this service. The recordings will be available online for one year after convention. By submission of the application, you agree to allow TMEA to record the session. HandoutsOnce your session is accepted and scheduled you will be notified of room capacity so you can provide an adequate number of handouts for your session. To reduce paper use, we recommend you create a one- or two-page (front and back) handout for distribution. If you have more to provide, it can be included in the handout file you upload for our website. You must submit an electronic copy of session handouts to TMEA by January 25. This electronic copy will be made available to attendees through the Personal Convention Schedule on February 4.
