<p>The Electronic Retailing Association (ERA) has enacted the following Speaker Policy for its education conferences and special events, including The Great Ideas Summit and the ERA D2C Convention. Speakers should adhere to the following:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
	<li>
		A supplier company may speak one time each at The Great Ideas Summit and the ERA D2C Convention, if selected. The supplier may NOT speak at the same conference in subsequent years if the company does not support ERA as a sponsor or exhibitor of that specific event. &nbsp;</li>
	<li>
		A supplier company that is a &ldquo;non-&shy;‐member&rdquo; may speak one time each at The Great Ideas Summit and the ERA D2C Convention, if selected. The supplier may NOT speak at the same conference during subsequent years if the company is a &ldquo;non-&shy;‐member.&rdquo;</li>
	<li>
		Supplier companies that are ERA members will have priority over &ldquo;non-&shy;‐member&rdquo; suppliers in the speaker-&shy;‐selection process.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>
		All selected speakers must complete and sign the ERA Speaker Contract below, which will be distributed to all speakers, and return to ERA by the published deadline.</li>
	<li>
		All selected speakers must be registered with an All Access Pass no later than 30 days prior to the conference date. Speakers will be provided a discounted speaker rate. <strong>(Note: Any speaker who fails to register by the deadline will be removed from the education schedule and replaced, if necessary.)</strong></li>
	<li>
		All speakers will be responsible for all travel arrangements and expenses that they incur.</li>
</ul>
