The
TLC Conference provides a forum for faculty and administrators
to share proven and innovative methods in teaching at the college
level. Come to present papers on teaching issues such as:
curriculum, ethics in higher education, promotion and tenure,
accreditation, teaching methods and styles, administration, faculty
welfare, technology in the classroom, teacher evaluation,
department-specific issues, and related topics.

|
|
 The
IBER Conference provides a forum for faculty to present their
research on any business, economics, or business-related topic.
For
both conferences, a Best Paper Award is issued for the best paper in
each session. Papers winning the Best Paper Award will automatically be
reviewed
for possible publication in one of our academic journals. Papers not
winning an award may also be submitted for journal review via email
request.
For those who cannot
attend the conference and still wish to present a paper at this
conference, we now offer an E-session for your
convenience. You still pay the registration fee and submit
a paper; however rather than physically attending the
conference, your paper will be displayed electronically during the
e-session for viewing and discussion. We need your
presentation emailed to us in PowerPoint format with
"voice-over", by September
8, 2009
You are invited to attend the
conference, even if you choose not to present a paper.
Please register for either conference and you may attend both for
one registration fee. Please indicate "Attending only" on the registration form.

e-session, workshop, panel,

our e-session offers them the opportunity to present their papers

Conference Fees
Fees for the 2008 IBER and TLC conferences are:
-
To attend either or both conferences (whether or not a paper is
being presented), there is a total one-time registration fee of
$325.00 per attendee. This fee includes: admission to both
conferences, an approximate 20-minute time slot to present one paper
at either conference, a printed copy of the conference program, a
copy of the proceedings on a USB flash drive, and admission to all
receptions, coffee breaks, etc. The conference proceedings will
also be available for anyone to download off of our website at no
cost after the conference. All attending conference participants
must pay the registration fee and at least one author per paper must
attend, unless the paper is being presented in an e-session.
- To present an additional paper at either conference, or to
present the same paper at both conferences, there is an added fee of
$100.00 per paper. For example:
- A faculty member may register for one conference and present
the same paper at both conferences for a total of $425.00.
- A faculty member may register for both conferences ($325.00
fee includes admittance to both) and present two papers at the
same conference for a total of $425.00.
The registration fee must be
received by the deadline of September 1, 2009 to
assure scheduling in the program.
There is a $50 fee if
cancellation is received between September 9 and 18, 2009; and there

FAQ'S
1. Dress Code: We do not have a dress code; what goes
for classroom attire goes for the conference. The important
thing is to be comfortable.
2. Presentation Room Equipment: Each presentation room will be equipped with a
laptop, data projector
and screen for
PowerPoint presentations. There will not, however, be a
transparency projector. Please bring your presentation on a
flash drive or USB drive, as well as 10 -
15 copies of your paper for
distribution.
3. Session Timing: We plan to allow approximately 20 minutes
for each presentation.
4. Best Airfare: Consult with your travel agent and the Internet (priceline.com,
cheaptickets.com, expedia.com, and lowestfare.com) for the lowest
fare. We permit last-minute changes in your presentation schedule to
accommodate your travel arrangements.
5. CPE Credit: Professionals seeking Continuing
Professional Education Credit should contact the conference chair or
indicate on the Registration Form that they must receive CPE credit
for attending the conference. Necessary paperwork is required
and will be available at the conference registration desk.
6. Organize a Session: Faculty may organize their own
session, invite participants, and serve as the session chair.
Please contact us at
Staff@CluteInstitute.com
to make arrangements.
7. Late Submission: If you missed a deadline, please
email
Staff@CluteInstitute.com.
8. Abstract-Only Publications: Authors often elect to
publish only the abstract of their presentation in the conference
proceedings. This effectively gives the author until the conference
date to complete the paper. This also means that the author is free to
submit the paper to another journal without copyright consequences.
This is possible because the paper has never been published elsewhere
since only the abstract was published in the proceedings. The
Clute Institute does not copyright the proceedings, which means that
authors are still free to do as they see fit with the paper.
Consequently, authors can claim academic credit for a conference
presentation, a refereed conference proceedings publication, and
possibly a journal publication (from one of our journals or a
different journal) from one piece of research.
9. Republishing A Presentation: Authors are free to
publish their presentation elsewhere without fear of copyright
problems and without permission from the Clute Institute.
However, conference papers that are selected for and published in one
of our journals are copyrighted by the Clute Institute with the
copyright given back to the author. We do this because we need to
protect ourselves in case the paper has been plagiarized. Papers are
only published in one of our journals with the consent of the author.
10. Attending Only: You may attend both
the teaching and the business conference at one
location for one
registration fee. A Registration Form for either
conference is all that is needed (obtained from the
"Registration Form" links above) as well as the
registration fee. Please indicate "attending only"
on the registration form. |
