All presentations are voluntary. There is no compensation for time and any expenses related to travel.
Lodging and meals are the responsibility of the presenters. All presenters, receive complimentary registration to general admittance conference sessions unless otherwise discussed. Complete details accompany notification of acceptance and this does not include co-presenters whose programs are members of the association.

At a minimum, NCHSA equips each training room with an LCD projector/screen. All presenters must bring their own laptop and speakers if their presentation requires the use of such technology. Any cost for audio-visual equipment or duplication services not approved in writing by NCHSA is the responsibility of the presenter. Audio-visual equipment and duplication services are cost prohibitive and is not typically authorized by NCHSA.

NCHSA reserves the right to edit material for the conference including presentation titles and descriptions, as needed, without changing the content or meaning.

containing registration materials and conference logistics. On the registration form, the lead presenters must list all information for themselves and their co-presenter(s) as it should appear in the event online platform.
