1. The identity of the Lead Organizer(s) and Local Organizing Committee. If the proposal is accepted, this group will appoint a Scientifc Committee with the support and approval of the Executive Committe of IALE International.
 

2. The proposed venue and time for the Congress and information on conference facilities and the availability and cost of accommodations in the proposed location at that time.  The proposal must include information on the following:
 
• air fare from major world cities to venue
• estimated accomodation costs including low cost
• amenities at the venue (e.g.wireless, etc.)
• general outline of WC events (excursion, dinner, visits to nearby landscape-related features or conservation areas)

If the proposal is accepted, the Local Organizing Committee reserves space for the Congress and organizes the Congress receptions, social events, a banquet, and excursions.

3.  A general budget and financial strategy.  IALE International will provide, as specified in the proposal, a loan to help with costs associated with pre-conference logistics (e.g. to secure facilities) as well as conference costs.  A Memorandum of Understanding between the IALE and the Organization Committee will be prepared between the parties. This loan will need to be justified and not exceed the amount of $10,000 USD.  The financial strategy for the conference should be done in such a way as to maximize the potential to achieve a balance that permits repaying the loan to IALE.
 
4. It is expected that the income of the congress will be comprised of the participation fee, sponsored funds, rents, advertising revenues and the price of sold publications.  The participation fee for IALE members and for students should be at a reduced fee (below the normal fee).

5. Opportunities for sponsorship by international, regional and local authorities, research institutions and industry.

6. Plans to secure secretarial/technical support prior to and during the Congress, including support to prepare a website for the Congress that receives registrations and contributed talks. Support to assist the Scientifc Committee in screening contributed talks and assist the Local Organizing Committee with conference logistics.  Support may include the following:
l
• general conference support,
• student support,
• support for low-income nations

The venue for the IALE World Congress 2015 will be chosen by the IALE EC towards the end/beginning of 2011/12 after consultation with IALE members.
