CONTINUING THIS YEAR!

We are continuing a successful aspect of last year’s conference. We are asking presenters to also present LIVE! on Saturdays during the conference. Times would be scheduled between 7a and 12n Pacific Time. This works best to allow participants in the Americas, Europe, and Africa to attend live at a decent hour. You would not provide a pre-recorded video for this session, but we will automatically record it and make it available for participants after the fact.

We are also limiting presenters to a maximum of three presentations this year to keep everything manageable.

*All classroom-demonstration videos that include faces of minors must submit written permission from legal parent/guardian allowing their child to appear on video.

All proposals are due by October 31.

Accepted proposals will be notified by November 30.

Please note COMPREHENDED! has the right to revoke acceptance if submitted video does not meet the minimum requirements.

Presentation Requirements

submit video & handouts

All presentations must be recorded and submitted as an MOV or MP4 video file (max file size is 2GB).


The videos should be of high quality (minimum 720p), include your face, have adequate volume, and filmed in horizontal orientation.

Presentation Compensation

COMPREHENDED! believes in a fair and transparent distribution of proceeds.

All presenters will receive free, unlimited registration to the conference.

COMPREHENDED! compensates its presenters based on a profit-share model. After expenses, 50% of all net proceeds will be divided among all presenters based on the number of hours presented.

Please note your compensation is directly tied to the success of the conference. The more successful the conference, the more compensation each presenter will earn. Each presenter will earn no less than $100 per presentation hour if the conference is not profitable.

Payment will be sent via check, PayPal, or Zelle no later than June 30
