ESWP: International Bridge Conference®: Call for Workshops

Workshop Questionnaire Form

for the 28th Annual International Bridge Conference®

June 5-8, 2011

Workshops are focused sessions on specific topics, usually 4 or more hours in length, and are presented by co-sponsors, partners and other leading industry groups. Pre-selection of presentations is not required.

Workshops that are proprietary or commercial by nature will be considered Special Interest Sessions (SIS). SIS will be determined by the IBC and are subject to a $1,000 charge for a half day presentation or $1,750 for a full day presentation. The IBC will supply audio/visual equipment, but the presenters will be responsible to provide a laptop computer and any handouts.

Deadline for Workshop Submittals is December 3, 2010.
