Program Policies/Guidelines
SNEB Member Speakers: No honorarium or travel support will be provided for member participation. This includes members who present or facilitate at program sessions, oral and poster presentations, and workshops. Discounted registration fees will be available to those presenting virtually or who wish to attend only the day of their presentation. If you need additional help with funding, please contact info@sneb.org.
Non-Member Speakers: Speakers are encouraged to fund their own travel and associated expenses. If SNEB is asked to fund speaker costs (honoraria, travel, lodging, and per diem), the costs will be tightly controlled. A maximum of $500 will be reimbursed for travel related costs. The maximum honorarium to be offered to any speaker is $500 for a plenary session or $200 for a concurrent session. In exceptional circumstances, the Executive Director, in consultation with the President and Annual Meeting Chair, can approve a deviation from this policy. Non-member speakers who are attending to present their speech ONLY are not required to pay a registration fee and will receive a complimentary one-day registration badge. Non-members attending beyond their presentation are required to pay the appropriate meeting registration fee, unless the registration fee is complimentary in lieu of honorarium or travel expenses.
Session Moderators: It is the moderator’s responsibility to introduce the session and presenters, facilitate the dialogue, including questions from the audience, keep the session on schedule, acknowledge any session sponsors, present any honorarium checks and make SNEB announcements provided in the script.
