A note about sponsor workshop presentations
Sponsors may participate in the presentation of a Major Workshop or Mini Workshop only if they are partnered with a faculty or staff from an academic institution who is teaching the exercise to students and who is the primary author and presenter of the Major or Mini Workshop. Major Workshop proposals are submitted to the Major Workshop Committee for review. Mini Workshop proposals are submitted to the Mini Workshop Committee for review. These workshops should be focused on effective approaches to helping students learn in biology teaching laboratories, rather than on selling a particular product. However, a novel product may convincingly help students learn the laboratory material and play an important role in a successful Major or Mini Workshop exercise.
*If you wish to offer a sponsored mini workshop to present your product, you can do so. The workshop proposals are evaluated using the same criteria as those submitted by academic participants and needed to conform to the same expectations. The lunch and happy hour sponsor demonstration times remain available for those sponsors whose products or services do not lend themself to Mini Workshop criteria or who prefer not to present during Mini Workshop times. Sponsored workshops are not eligible for publication or honoraria.
