In the case that your proposal is selected, you authorize LACNOG and 
LACNIC to publish your name, picture, biography, and final work in the 
event agenda.

The acceptance of your proposal exempts you from the event registration 
fees but does not automatically grant any monetary support either for 
traveling or accomodations. However, presenters may apply for a LACNIC 
sponsorship independently.

Presenters at the LACNOG 2018 conference will receive a certificate 
attesting their participation.
