Presenting
The call for proposals for the conference opens on Monday, January 23rd, 2017. Presenters can submit proposals for general sessions focused on one of the strands listed above. While the final deadline for submissions is Saturday, February 25th, 2016, presenters will be notified of acceptance on a rolling basis. There is a motivation for early submission and acceptance, as presenters schedule their own presentation times as a part of the process and the options become more limited as time goes on.
As a conference that is focused on being participatory, we encourage everyone to submit a proposal, including those who are new to presenting.
