Thank you very much for applying to give a presentation at the GDT‘s In-

To enable the board of management to get a rough idea of your presentati-

on, we kindly ask you to provide us with the following details when sending

in your presentation outline:

pixels on their longest side

• title and subtitle of the presentation

• a short summary of the presentation

• your personal details

2. Important information:

Please let us know if there is more than one person involved in your pre-

sentation or if another person gives the lecture instead of you. Associations

are asked to provide information about the number of their members, con-

tests, regular events, etc. as well as of the number of those who will parti-

cipate as lecturers in the presentation.

Please use the enclosed data sheet to let us know if you have already pre-

sented your lecture at other festivals or will do so in the same year (when

address:

4. Additional information:

The board will look at your application and inform you about their decision.

Please keep in mind that a rejection is not based on the quality of your

lecture alone! Although your application may be very good, there is always

the possibility that your presentation does not fit in the context of the next

festival, as for example other presentations with a similar topic have alrea-

dy been scheduled.

The board reserves the right to shorten the favoured time frame by arran-

gement with the lecturer.

Lectures cannot claim a specific position/time slot in the lecture program-

me. The GDT also reserves the right to alter the schedule of the lecture

program.

In exchange for their presentation lecturers will receive:

• a small fee in recognition of their contribution

• reimbursement of travel expenses (return) using the most economical

means of transport

• accommodation in Lünen for one person from Friday to Sunday, pos-

sibly one more night if necessary

• a free ticket for all presentations during the festival

• a voucher for the buffet on Saturday evening

• the possibility to sell own publications during the festival (through GDT

staff)

• a number of food and beverage vouchers for the weekend

In case the presentation is held by two or more lecturers, the group will

receive a maximum of 2 free tickets for the presentations and the buffet,

twice the amount of food vouchers and accordingly accommodation for

two people.

We wish you all the best and a successful application!
