Cancellation requests made by January 26, 2024, will receive a refund less a $100 processing fee. After January 26, 2024, refunds will not be granted. Registrations are transferable at any time. Please email dlac@executivevents.com with your substitution request.

Payment must be made within 30 days of registration, unless other arrangements have been made with DLAC. If payment is not received within 30 days of registration and registration pricing has increased, you will be charged the current registration price.

If payment is not received within 30 days of registering and the pricing has increased, your invoice will reflect the regular pricing and Early Bird pricing will no longer apply.

You may connect with other attendees in the conference app, but similar to professional conferences in many fields, and in consideration of trends toward more stringent privacy laws, DLAC does not share attendees’ contact information, even with sponsors and exhibitors.

Most sessions do not require pre-registration, nor is any pre-registration available. That does mean that some rooms will fill, so if you're particularly interested in a session you may want to arrive early. We have plenty of capacity across sessions collectively but we can't predict which individual sessions will be most popular.

A separate Call for Proposals will be held for the Fall 2024 online event in early 2024. Details will be posted on the deelac.com website.

January 23 at 8:00am Pacific/11:00am Eastern OR January 25 at 4:00pm Pacific/7:00pm Eastern

Yes, you will need to register for the conference, but you will receive a heavily discounted rate of $599. When your session is accepted, you will receive directions on how to register as a Speaker.

The length of your session depends on the type of session you selected/were accepted for. DLAC session lengths range from 6 minutes and 40 seconds to 75 minutes. You can find the length of each session type at: www.deelac.com/sessiontypes or in your acceptance email.

Please note that all presentations, except for Table Talks and Poster Session, will be held in a room equipped with WiFi and a projector/screen. Speakers will be expected to provide their own laptops and necessary adaptors to connect to the projector.

DLAC sessions are scheduled in 75-minute blocks of time. Some speakers (Workshops, Panel Discussions, Organized Session of Talks, and Debates) are given the full 75-minute block of time. Three Contributed Talks are scheduled back to back during the 75-minute block in each room, and Pecha Kuchas are scheduled with 6 back to back sessions in one room. A moderator will be assigned to these rooms to watch the time and ensure each speaker gets their full length of time to present. More information about Session Types can be found at: https://www.deelac.com/sessiontypes

You can make changes to your session Title, Description, and Speaker Information directly in the program platform. A link to your proposal is provided in the confirmation email sent to you when you originally submit your session. You can also login at: https://www.eventsforce.net/evergreen/frontend/reg/tAbsSubmitterLogin.csp?pageID=8372&eventID=6 to find your specific proposal.

When your session is accepted, an email will be sent to you, no later than November 17, 2023. This email will provide all of the details of your session. The entire DLAC program will be posted after the week of November 17, 2023. You will be able to see the location of your session in the program in real time. Room assignments, may change prior to the conference and will be reflected in the program on the website and in the conference app.

We do not provide additional support (bandwidth, tech support, hard wired internet, etc.) for this. You may invite a co-presenter to speak online during your session, but we are not responsible for any technical issues.

Specific sessions will have moderators (Contributed Talks, Pecha Kuchas, and Table Talks) to track time and support presenters during these session types.

You may connect with other attendees in the conference app. Similar to professional conferences in many fields, and in consideration of trends toward more stringent privacy laws, DLAC does not share attendees’ contact information. However, lead retrieval services are available for exhibitor purchase and attendee badges carry QR codes. Also, a sponsor branded email message may be sent out by DLAC as a benefit of Gold Sponsorship.

IMPORTANT SCAM WARNINGS

The DLAC organizers are aware of scams circulating among our attendees, sponsors, and exhibitors, and we wish to make you aware of them, too. Most recently, scammers are including conference logos at the bottom of their messages to make the messages look more authentic, and we don’t want you to be misled by this.

Please disregard any emails claiming to have the DLAC 2024 attendee list, complete with contact details. Rest assured that this is NOT the case, and all such claims are false. DLAC is committed to keeping your data secure at all times.

In addition, please be aware of scammers claiming access to discounted rates and room availability at official DLAC hotels. Again, these scammers do NOT have this access, and booking through these third-party providers may result in exorbitant lodging rates as well as make it impossible for you to cancel a reservation or receive a refund. We strongly recommend you only book through the links on the DLAC website or those provided by our registration team.

If you have any questions or are uncertain about a mailing you have received, please reach out to us at dlac@evergreenedgroup.com.
