Call for Paper/Panel Proposals

30th Annual SWTX PCA/ACA Conference

Priority Proposal Deadline: November 15, 2008

Final Deadline: December 1, 2008

Deadline for submissions each year is December 1. If you wish to be considered, please read the following information:

Send paper, abstract, proposal, or panel to the appropriate area chair. Please do not submit the same item to more than one area chair and do not plan to make more than one presentation. Due to possible scheduling conflicts, participants may make only one presentation at the conference.

When submitting your paper, abstract, proposal, or panel please include your name, affiliation, and email address. For those submitting a panel, include the name, affiliation, and email address for each participant and note who will be the principle contact and panel chair.
A preliminary version of the schedule will usually be posted on our website in January. Due to the number of panels and participants, we are unable to accommodate individual scheduling requests. We encourage participants to come for the entire conference. The final version of the schedule will be distributed in hard copy at the conference. For privacy reasons we do not publish email addresses in the online version of the program.

We cordially invite paper and panel proposals for the 30th Annual Southwest Texas PCA/ACA Conference. Submissions can be made online to our Area Chairs with many subject areas containing multiple subareas that may help define your topic. Click on each subject area to see the list of subareas and area chair contact information. Please email or telephone the area chair requesting a Call for Papers (CFP) or for more information about the specific area.

Only one paper is accepted from the same presenting author. All presenters, including invited panel speakers and session chairs, must register and pay the conference registration fee. If you need an early confirmation for visa or budgetary reasons, please indicate this in your submission.
