- Payment of honorarium contingent upon providing a handout by deadline of March 26, 2010, and upon presentation being given for the entire allotted time.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON “SALES PITCH”
Your presentation must not be a sales pitch for any services, products or company and may not include corporate logos on slides. If LFI receives complaints that your presentation was in any way considered commercial, LF I reserves the right to waive your honorarium. Violation of this rule will also impact future speaker selection of you or anyone in your company.
Past Speaker Policy
To ensure a good mix of new and past presenters, speakers who have spoken more than 2 years in a row or more than 3 times over a 5-year period will be considered on a case-by-case basis but are encouraged to submit.
