SELECTION, NOTIFICATION & RESPONSIBILITIES
Selection Process: The Renewable Energy World Conference & Expo North America and
Photovoltaics World Conference & Expo Program Committees are composed of industry
professionals representing all renewable technologies. The committees will carefully
review all abstracts submitted by the August 6, 2010 deadline with the goal of forming
highly educational and informative conferences addressing topical and timely renewable
energy industry issues.
All abstracts will be evaluated on the strength of the abstract submitted, including
content matter, market trend and relevance of the material. The program committees
will give preference to abstracts that include end-user representation. Consultants
and manufacturers may submit abstracts of a non-commercial nature, but all blatant
commercial sales pitches will not be accepted for presentation.
Notification: All primary contacts will be notified via email no later than October 22, 2010,
as to whether or not their proposed Renewable Energy World Conference & Expo North
America or Photovoltaics World Conference & Expo abstract has been selected.
Primary Contact Responsibilities: The primary contact will be responsible for meeting
all deadlines and requirements regarding the paper presentation or panel participation.
The primary contact must agree to submit a final manuscript to be included in the conference proceedings by December 3, 2010. This contact also needs to notify conference management of any changes, additions or corrections in author, co-author or panelist names, paper titles or availability to present the submitted paper at the appointed date and time. Unless otherwise noted on the abstract, the presenter will be considered the primary contact.
Speaker Registration: One presenter per paper accepted or up to five panelists per panel session will receive complimentary full conference registration that includes entrance to the conference and exhibit hall, delegate lunches, exhibit hall reception and one copy of the conference proceedings on CD-ROM. All travel and hotel arrangements are the sole responsibility of the speaker.
Co-presenters are encouraged to attend Renewable Energy World Conference & Expo
North America and Photovoltaics World Conference & Expo and we will gladly include
their names in the conference programs. However, they will be responsible for their own
conference registration, hotel accommodations and other conference-related expenses.
