Thank you for your proposal. Please edit your proposal and add language that makes it clear how your presentation will relate to our mission: http://www.globaleducationconference.com/notes/The_GEC_Mission_Stat.... I also recommend elaborating on your full description in paragraph form in addition to your bullet points. Keep in mind that we are not a pure educational technology conference.
