DISCLAIMER
DATTA Qld would like to advise that the views expressed by presenters during our events and programs do not necessarily reflect the views or official position of DATTA Qld. DATTA Qld strives to encourage submission of a range of presentation types and topics, with the condition that presenters consult with the QCAA officer/relevant body linked to the subject area (where applicable).
Publication
Should your presentation submission be accepted, it will be published in the conference app. We recommend you proof your submission well prior to submitting.
Presentation content
It is a condition of submission that the QCAA officer/relevant body linked to the subject area is consulted about the content of your presentation prior to submission, where applicable.
If your presentation is about a new product or service, please ensure it is not a sales pitch. Instead, we encourage you to discuss the key features and benefits, and how it can be incorporated into modern classroom teaching. If you wish to promote a particular brand you can do so as part of a trade display demonstration.
During the submission process you will be able to select whether you would prefer to be allocated a one hour or two hour time slot in the program. Please note we will endeavour to provide you with your preference, but due to timings and room availability we cannot guarantee the outcome.
