New IGTI Policy on No-Show Authors The IGTI Board of Directors has instituted a new policy intended to reduce the number of no-show authors at future Turbo Expos. This is in response to input from the IGTI Membership concerning a significant increase in the number of authors that failed to show up to present their papers or even notify the session organizers. There were more than 100 no show authors in Orlando. Along with detracting for the general environment at the conference, this increases the costs because all of us have to pay for unused rooms. These costs are ultimately passed to attendees through increased registration fees. IGTI works hard to keep the costs as low as possible and reducing the number of no-show authors will save money. Starting with the next Turbo Expo, no-show authors will not be permitted to submit technical papers for future IGTI conferences until they have paid the three-day registration for the conference they missed. This applies to all authors on the paper. If no author is able to attend, which is sometimes unavoidable, a replacement speaker should present the paper, after they are fully briefed on the content. While this is less than a good option, we understand that problems arise and it is not always possible for one of the authors to attend. The Conference Chair is able to grant a waiver from this policy. However, a documented effort to attend or find a replacement speaker is generally needed.
