Submission Guidelines:
All Proposals and abstracts must be received by Wednesday
September 7, 2011
Paper presentations are limited to 15
minutes, which is equal to 6 to 8 double-spaced pages of text
with slides.
To avoid scheduling conflicts, each person
can be the presenter on only one paper, although they can be
co-authors on multiple papers. This does not include posters or
multiple presentations within a single symposium.
Each meeting room will have an LCD projector,
laptop, microphone and laser pointer. Additional audio
visual equipment is the responsibility of the presenter. Power Point or computer aided presentations must
be loaded onto the computer and tested in advance. Symposium
chairs will be responsible for their own sessions. We will send
specific details to each presenter once papers are scheduled.
Poster presentations are for 2 hours and
the author(s) of each is requested to spend the majority of this
time with the poster for discussion with conferees. Posters are
limited in size to 48” wide and should include the
title, name of author(s), affiliation of author(s), and
abstract. We ask poster presenters to provide handouts that
contain the poster text, selected images, and/or references.
All session, symposium and workshop
proposals as well as individual presentations must be submitted
as attachments to e-mail messages sent to
midwestconference2011@gmail.com.
Click
here for a template (rtf file) for formatting the abstract.
Each proposal must include the names of
authors and co-authors, each institutional affiliation, title of
the paper, and abstract (limited to 150 words). Do not use any
special formatting within the document. Please
submit as a Word or rtf file and include your last name in the
file name.
Symposia are limited to 15 participants per
session which includes both papers and discussants (for a
half-day session) If you have more than 15 papers, then please
divide into two sessions. Symposia must be submitted as a
package by the organizer, with all titles, abstracts included,
as well as the proposed sequence of papers. If there is a
preferred day or time, please let us know. We cannot guarantee
any particular schedule but will try to accommodate requests as
much as possible.
