How to host a site

1. Make sure your satellite system is available and capable of receiving the program. It must have a settable antenna capable of receiving SBS6 ku band (SBS6 is located at 74 degrees). (Exact satellite technical specifications will be provided to registered sites about two weeks prior to the broadcast.)



2. Assign a site facilitator (Information for site facilitators).



3. Register on-line.



4. Sign and return the site agreement form.



5. There is no site fee this year.



6. Have participants sign in and complete evaluation forms

Videoconference materials

• Publicity materials



1. Sites can download a one-page flyer (2-sided, lists the sessions and speakers, has a higher-resolution copy of the photograph that appears on the web site announcement) as a MS Word 97 document to adapt for their specific needs and distribute. Two versions are available.
   
2. We have sent 5-10 posters to sites registered by June 1


• Instructor-provided educational materials
  
  An electronic copy of instructors' slides as well as a list of suggested readings will be available for you to copy and distribute at your site. These materials will be distributed via our web site or e-mail, as we receive them (we will announce new postings to the web site via e-mail to video downlink sites registered at that time).

We will post your site location on our web page. We can also post information about your specific site's arrangements, to which you can then refer in your own publicity.

Registered sites may choose to charge attendees a fee to cover the cost of participating.

Broadcast times:

The five broadcasts will begin at 1:00 p.m. (EDT) with test signal (color bars) audio tone.   Actual program begins at 1:30 p.m. (EDT) and ends at 4:30 p.m. (EDT). Friday's program will be taped during the morning and broadcast during the regular afternoon time. One of the presenters will respond to questions and comments following the playback of his presentation.
