I/We agree to present this panel or paper if it is accepted and programmed. I/We further recognize that all who attend and present at ECA's annual meeting must register and pay required fees."

Equipment Requests: Equipment rental at conventions is VERY expensive, and ECA has a limited budget. Please try to structure your presentation in such a way that equipment is not needed. If equipment is absolutely required, you should provide your own equipment. You may request technology needs at the time of the paper/panel submission (list on the title page and reiterate in your e-mail); however, it is unlikely that we will be able to provide it.
