National Recycling Coalition=92s
18th Annual Congress & Exposition
September 27-29, 1999 Cincinnati, OH
NRC=92s Annual Congress & Exposition is the best place to exchange new
ideas about recycling. The Congress offers the most comprehensive,
informative, educational program of any recycling conference across
the country. Every year, the NRC Congress is the most influential
gathering of its kind.
Benefits of Presenting to the NRC Audience
You have an opportunity to set yourself apart and enhance your
credibility and stature among industry professionals; refresh and
increase your personal knowledge; challenge yourself and your
colleagues through lively debates and interactive sessions.
The Application
To participate, complete and return the application form for
each topic in which you are qualified to present. No more than 2
abstracts may be submitted by one presenter. Your abstract must be
postmarked by February 15, 1999. Proposals
constituting sales pitches for products or services will not be
considered.
1. The key to making your presentation stand out is to put yourself in
the audience=92s shoes. What specific benefits or advantages will
attendees gain from this topic?
2. Indicate the names of any co-presenters on a separate sheet (also
include title, organization, address, phone, fax and e-mail for each
person).
3. Write a benefit-laden title for your session. Complete the 75-word
description. Be as specific about the learning that will take place
at this session.
4. Complete the learning objective. What will the participants be
able to do as a result of attending this session?
5. Provide evidence that the proposed ideas, concepts, programs, etc.,
in your presentation has been implemented. Provide examples of how
the points presented can be transferred to other organizations.
Explain what is new or unique about the information presented.
The Process
Applications are evaluated by NRC staff and members of our Conference
Task Force. Applications will be evaluated with the following
criteria in mind: overall quality and focus; organization of ideas;
relevance to NRC=92s recycling agenda; and our members=92
informational/educational needs; quality of research; presentation
skills; originality; applicability of topic; and timing (i.e. has the
presentation or speaker been featured recently on an industry program
-- has the presentation or speaker presented recently at an NRC
Congress & Exposition?).
We will evaluate all proposals by March 1, 1999, and you will receive
notification of acceptance or non-acceptance as soon as possible
thereafter. If your proposal is selected, you will be required to
submit a written paper for the Conference Proceedings or as a handout
to be distributed on-site.
Consent
Appearing before the decision makers in the recycling industry is an
honor. Attending an NRC Congress as a speaker or an attendee has many
long-term benefits. There is no fee to submit a presentation.
Persons selected to appear before the NRC audience will be expected to
pay registration fees to attend the entire Congress. A speaker
discount of $100 off the full registration fee may be extended if the
presenter will be attending the entire Congress & Exposition. All
related expenses for travel and hotel accommodations will be at the
speaker=92s expense.
NRC disclaimer

presentations that have cross-sectional appeal to the varied interests
of all segments of its membership. Accordingly, it is understood and
agreed that NRC reserves the right to make such selection from the
proposals received that will, in its judgment, most effectively
contribute to the achievement of the foregoing objective. Note that
NRC will not offer sessions on topics not envisioned at this time, nor
will NRC offer sessions in each topic area, even though a presentation
may have been submitted for evaluation. It is further understood and
agreed that while a proposal may be accepted, the presenters may not.

format that best fits your topic - lecture, group discussion, case
studies, team teaching, panel discussions, and roundtables to name a
few. Note that NRC will not necessarily offer sessions in each topic
