Complete the ECAC-SIDA Workshop Site Proposal Form (Microsoft Word format)

Reminder: ECAC-SIDA members are encouraged to bring (or ship) samples of their media guides, game programs, brochures and other publications to the Workshop.  There will be an area set aside in the ECAC-SIDA section of the hotel to display the guides, so SIDs can share their publications ideas with colleagues. This has been a long-time tradition of ECAC-SIDA that has fallen off a little the last few years, but this year’s board encourages members to take advantage of this opportunity to improve your publications and share your ideas and knowledge with your fellow SIDs.
