Workshop Speaker Terms and Conditions

Workshops must be scripturally based and in agreement with the Northwestern College Doctrinal Statement. Workshop presenters agree to offer their workshop during three out of four one-hour sessions both days of the conference. Workshops are one hour in length. Care should be taken in planning the hour to cover content adequately. Trying to fit too much content into one hour is as detrimental to a workshop as not having enough content for the hour. Workshops need to be dismissed at the 60-minute mark to allow attendees to get to the next workshop and have the session begin on time. If possible, the conference theme should be incorporated in the workshop. If that won’t work for a particular workshop, please communicate this to the Set Apart Workshop Coordinator. Workshops should not be used to promote product or particular businesses. Product sales are not allowed in workshops. Any mention of available product or business resources should be a brief mention, less than 30 seconds. Workshop presenters that have written books or have product that they would like to make available to attendees should work through the Set Apart Workshop Coordinator to either consign these items with our designated Set Apart vendor or work with the chosen vendor to provide the items for sale. Workshop rooms are generally set up with seating in rows or classroom seating with tables and chairs. Workshop styles that require a different type of setup may or may not be able to be accommodated. We ask that workshop presenters allow a recording to be made of their workshop. The recording will be done during one session on the first day of the conference. Recordings will be made available for sale to conference attendees. Workshops should be planned with this in mind.  Workshop presenters are required to attend an orientation session on the first day of the conference at 8:00 a.m. until approximately 8:20 a.m. A host or hostess is provided for each workshop presenter to help facilitate the needs of the presenter and attendees.  Lunch is provided for each workshop presenter. If the workshop presenter has any specific dietary needs, they should make that known the Set Apart Workshop Coordinator. Set Apart reserves the right to make changes to the above terms and conditions.
