November 3-4
2005 Plaza Ocean Club 640 North Atlantic Avenue Daytona Beach FL 386-239-9800
Important Information All presenters (and everyone else attending) must register
for the conference and become a member of FCEA. Anyone who does not register,
will have his name removed from the schedule posted on the archive portion of
the website, effectively denying the paper was accepted or presented. Length of Presentation: Each presenter will have twelve minutes to present her/his paper. An additional eight minutes is earmarked for questions, at the discretion of the session chair. A page of text can be read in about two minutes; generally speaking therefore, no more than six pages of text can be accommodated in your twelve-minute slot. Please pare longer papers to the essentials and make sure you take no longer than twelve minutes. As a practical matter attendees who have sat in on up to 28 sessions can only absorb the main points of your paper anyway. Save the fine points for our proceedings. Session Chairs: The first person named in each session will be the session chair. If that person does not show, the next person will be chair and so on. This designation was based in almost all instances on a chronological or alphabetical ordering. It is the chair’s duty to make sure each presenter, starting with him/herself, does not run past his twelve-minute allotment. The chair is asked to let the presenter know when the ninth minute has arrived, and to call for concluding remarks at the eleventh minute. In order to keep the sessions running smoothly and fairly, it is essential the chair take this duty seriously. Audio-Visuals:
Each room will have an overhead projector and a screen, but only two
VHS/TV and three laptop/projector combinations are available for our use. Based
on the response to our postcard survey we should manage very well. A team of
technicians will assist in the shunting of equipment. Please check at their table in the lobby to make sure your needs are
understood and met. Hotels: We are now beyond the special conference rate of $75 a night. The rack rate is about $125 a night. Many modest motels in the $35-40 range can be found within a mile of the Plaza Club Resort. You might try orbitz.com or other online travel agency for intermediate range hotel.
