- Decisions regarding acceptance or denial of panel requests are made by Events Senior Staff - any appeals will be handled directly by the Events Director. All decisions by the Events Director are final.
- If multiple submissions are received for the same event we will do our best to put you in touch with each other so you can work together if you so desire - if you can’t work together we will work from there.

- Panelists may not alter a room’s fundamental layout. If a room is set up as a classroom the tables must stay put; If it is set up as a lecture hall you may not move the chairs into a circle, etc. (Seating may be moved for accessibility or accommodation of additional panelists, but it must be returned to position at the end of your panel).
