On the presenter’s resources page (under the events tab) go to the event and click the edit link.

5. How are sessions selected?
A group of special interest group leaders make up the content selection committee. These dedicated leaders review all session ideas that were submitted for an event and pick the very best ones based on relevance and timeliness of the content.
RETURN
6. When will I find out if my session was selected?
It usually takes between 4-5 weeks after the Call for Presentations closes for the selection committee to review sessions and make decisions. After session selection is completed, Quest staff will email everyone who submitted a presentation with news of their session. You can check the status of your session by going to your submissions.
RETURN
