FAQs

1.  In the middle of registering as a presenter online, it kicked me out of the session. How do I know if my registration actually went through?
2.  When I go online to register as a speaker under "call for presenters", what questions will the "online form" be asking me so I know what to prepare?
3.  I do not know how to fill-out online forms (NOT a computer savvy person). Can I just submit my PowerPoint and list my previous speaking engagements?
4.  I have colleagues who I know would benefit from the Symposium. What's the best way to get them to attend?
5.  I am a member of a local industry-related organization. How can I help Gulf Coast Green spread the word?



1.  In the middle of registering as a presenter online, it kicked me out of the session. How do I know if my registration actually went through?

You should have received an e-mail confirming that your submission was received. Try logging in again to the web site with your e-mail address and the password you had initially entered. If you did not click the "Next" button, it is possible that the online system did not save you registration information.



2.  When I go online to register as a speaker under "call for presenters", what questions will the "online form" be asking me so I know what to prepare?

Here's a link to a PDF that is a "sample" of the screens that you will encounter when filling out our online form. Please gather this information in advance of going online. We recommend that you type your "text" responses (i.e. for the "abstract", "description", "speaker bio", etc.) in a Word document that you save for yourself. That way you can cut-and-paste your responses quickly into the online fields. Please be sure and hit the "Next" button at the bottom before the software times-out. We are limited to a 20-minute session for online. You can sign-in to the web site later to complete your registration if you did not complete registration in the first session.





3.  I do not know how to fill-out online forms (NOT a computer savvy person). Can I just submit my PowerPoint and list my previous speaking engagements?

Even if you are not a computer savvy person, we still want your submission! Just print our "SampleSpeaker_registration.pdf", write your responses, and have an assistant at your office (or colleague, or friend, or family member) submit the information online for you. We apologize but given the volume of submissions we have already received, our committee cannot accept submissions for presenters via e-mail.



4.  I have colleagues who I know would benefit from the Symposium. What's the best way to get them to attend?

There are several things you can do to encourage others to register for the event:

  1. Forward our e-newsletter (if you are not receiving it yourself then sign up on our homepage. 
  2. Encourage others to visit our website and sign up for the newsletter. 
  3. Visit the Press Room section of our website and print off some letter-size flyers that you can distribute or leave in a common area at work.





5.  I am a member of a local industry-related organization. How can I help Gulf Coast Green spread the word?

Contact us at info@gulfcoastgreen.org or take any of the following steps:

  1. Approach the organization's board about forwarding our newsletter or press releases (available on the website) directly to their distribution list. 
  2. Visit the Press Room section of our website, print off some letter-size flyers and get permission to distribute them or leave them on the registration table at your organization's next event. 
  3. Contact us for a quantity of Save-the-Date postcards to distribute in the same manner. 
  4. Encourage industry experts to review our Call for Presenters criteria and submit an application to present at the conference.
