Speaker(s)

It is encouraged that you contact the proposed speakers in advance of submitting the session to confirm that they would be available and willing to participate if the session is chosen.

NOTE: All CNS Conference Speakers and Chairs are required to complete a Confidentiality and Conflict of Interest (COI)/Disclosure Statement and include a slide with this information at the start of the session/talk. This is an important step in our goal to be transparent in all CNS activities, and to remain a credible and respected organization. Further, each speaker will be asked to thoroughly present their disclosure statement at the start of each presentation.

NOTE: Generally, two speakers plus a moderator are approved for each concurrent session. In certain instances, a third speaker may be approved by the conference planning committee when the rationale can be justified. If applicable to your proposal, indicate the 3rd speaker you would like to have considered.

Are you willing to accept one abstract/poster/postdoctoral scholar submission to be included in the session (if relevant topic is available)? *


Sponsorship

CNS approaches sponsors to engage in the annual conference to offset delivery costs and enable registration rates to be as affordable as possible. If possible, please indicate potential sponsors who may wish to support the CNS Annual Conference, as a Satellite Session sponsor or in other conference sponsor capacities (i.e., break or meal sponsor, award sponsor, exhibitor, or general sponsor). Please provide the organization’s name(s) and contact information (if available). PLEASE NOTE: CNS has clear sponsorship Guidelines that outline how we work with sponsors.
