8. NACC strives to keep the mini-conference affordable for both students and directors. Therefore, all participants, including presenters, are required to register for the mini-conference.
9. To ensure a blind review process, the document (body of paper and abstract) must remain nameless and affiliationless. Information that in any way identifies the presenter or his or her affiliation may disqualify the proposal from consideration.
