Proposal Preparation in Three Steps:

  1. 1. DECIDE ON YOUR PROPOSAL TYPE

    1. Proposal Types: Review this Call for Proposals and the information regarding the two (2) proposal submission types – Organized Panel sessions and Roundtable submissions.

      Roundtables are a discussion format centered around a particular topic. This is not a formal paper presentation session. Rather, the session should aim at stimulating interaction, debate, and discussion among roundtable participants and those in attendance.
