Application for Presentations

TAC/TACTP will accept only those applications that are entered online; no hard-copy applications will be accepted.
Submit one complete application for each session you propose. Be sure each speaker has agreed to attend and present at the conference if the session is chosen. If any of your proposed presenters are unable to attend, you will be responsible for finding a suitable substitute.
Preconference workshops at the Assessment Conference are three hours in length and require an additional fee.
Concurrent Sessions at the Assessment Conference are one hour and fifteen minutes in length.
Please scroll through the application before you begin so that you have the information you need to complete the application.
If you leave the application in the middle of completion by closing your browser or going to another Web site, you will have to start the application process again.
When your application is submitted, you will receive a confirmation e-mail.
All conference attendees, including presenters, vendors, and exhibitors must register for the conference and pay the registration fee.
