Call for Proposals  Submit Your Proposal

Are you considering a presentation? Here are the key steps and information to help you.

  1. View the Call for Proposals for instructions, guidelines, and the review rubric.
  2. Submit your presentation proposal and abstract by the early or regular deadline. Two rounds of submissions to provide you with flexibility.
    • Early submission: If you prefer and can submit earlier, then you will receive notification before winter break.
    • Regular submission: Use this option if you need more time to prepare, then you will get your notification by mid-January.
    • Pick the option that works best for you! Proposals for both submission periods are reviewed the same way, using the same review rubric and double-blind peer-review process.
