8. CEO-REPORT CONFERENCE Please make sure you have given me at least 24 hrs to read your MOST updated, proof-read, etc. draft before conferencing. If you do not upload your draft 24 hrs prior to our conference, you will forfeit that time, and given my schedule, chances are I will not be able to meet with you before your paper is due. Please note that I run many conferences in a row, so I may be running a tad late. Please do not enter the Elluminate room early. In addition, I may need you to log out and return, if I am running over time. If you miss a conference w/o notification, it counts as an absence.
