Proceedings Permission

I grant the Association for Business Communication permission to publicly display my extended abstract (proposal). Should I choose to revoke this permission, I understand I may do so by contacting abcoffice@businesscommunication.org or other such contact as directed by the Association for Business Communication.

NOTE: We hope you will permit ABC to consider publishing your extended abstract. If you are Approved to present at the conference, you will later be given the opportunity by the Proceedings Editorial Review Board to further edit your proposal if you desire to include a longer Proceedings submission or if you want to share a file that preserves formatting.
