Commercialism
GITA is constantly striving to upgrade the quality of its conference programs. You can assist us in this quest by adhering to our philosophy that all conference presentations be educational and non-commercial. Several years of speaker evaluations have indicated that a) our attendees desire and expect all subject matter to be presented in an objective manner and b) sales pitches are not acceptable and ultimately not in the speaker’s own best interest.

In the event that my abstract is selected by the conference committee for inclusion in the Annual Conference 30 Program, I agree to the following:

“I agree that my GITA presentation will be made with emphasis on educational information in a non-commercial manner. I further agree that I will read the GITA guidelines for speakers and agree will follow the policies stated therein.”

Co-speakers and Speaker Substitutions
“Only co-speakers listed on the original abstract will be allowed to present at Annual Conference 30, and/or substitute as lead presenter in the event that the lead presenter is unavailable. In the event that none of the presenters/co-presenters from the original abstract submission are available to present at Annual Conference 30, I understand that GITA will assign a replacement presentation from pre-selected back-up abstracts.”

Publication Permission
“In addition, I understand that this publication release gives GITA sole publishing rights to my paper/presentation as it is submitted. Any future use of this paper is at the sole discretion of GITA. Reprint/reproduction requests must be made in writing to Henry Rosales, Director of Operations, GITA.”

We sincerely appreciate your contribution and your commitment to assisting us in increasing the level of educational excellence. Please contact GITA at 303-337-0513 with any questions.
