WELCOME Speakers & Moderators!

Thank you for your commitment, expertise and for presenting at our NYSAR³ Annual Conference & Trade Show and the Recycling Congress!  Your participation is more than appreciated! 

Speaker/Moderator Registration

In recognition of your preparation and participation, speakers receive special registration options for the conference. Please be aware that due to rising costs, NYSAR³ has adjusted our speaker/moderator pricing to be more consistent with industry practice. Speakers and moderators will be given free registration to attend only the session in which you are participating by using the "Speaker/Moderator Session Only" button below. Otherwise, Speakers and moderators, please select the "Speaker/Moderator Registration" button to register for additional time at the conference.  We thank you for your understanding as we all endure rising costs and have crafted options to maintain affordability!  

While we have made a discounted registration available for these contributing attendees, we recognize that we could not put on our conference without you!  If you are a speaker and/or moderator struggling with the cost increase, please feel free to reach out to kelli.timbrook@casella.com for additional pricing options.

We ask all Speakers to use this button below to complete your registration.

Presentation Guidelines

These simple guidelines will help make your presentation great! 

• Make sure the audience can read your text. Use less text and increase the font size. 
• If you need to apologize for a slide (too dark, too small, too congested, etc), don’t use it.
• Have an introductory slide with the title, presenters, and their affiliations.
• Have a final slide with your contact information.
• Select a background color that provides a good contrast to your font or drawings. Do not use a green background with red type or vice versa, some people will not be able to distinguish the items displayed.
• Do not display long lists of data from your computer.
• We encourage you to use digital links instead of paper handouts to promote source reduction. We are also happy to post them on the conference web site.
• Review and comply with the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Code of Conduct below.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Code of Conduct 

NYSAR³’s DE&I team would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the knowledge and work of those who created resources to provide to speakers, attendees, and other individuals to highlight opportunities for inclusivity and organizational growth. Their wisdom and experience have made our own efforts possible. We utilized guidelines and recommendations these groups created as the foundation and standard of our own. Thank you to the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) and the Columbia Business School for creating resources other organizations and individuals may refer to.
