Proposal Submission Information
Affiliate Receptions: APPAM Institutional Members are welcome to host an Affiliate Reception at the Gaylord on the first night, Thursday, November 21. APPAM will assign meeting space based on expected attendance and order of request. The meeting space is complimentary, but institutions will arrange room setup, catering, and AV orders directly with the hotel once space has been assigned by APPAM. Learn more and submit here.
APPAM Communities Gatherings: APPAM members and conference attendees are invited to submit an APPAM Communities gathering proposal for any purpose that they consider to be a priority. These get-togethers may focus on shared interests or experiences, including, but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, geographical location, methodology, innovative research topics, or research approaches. Gatherings will be one hour and scheduled Thursday through Saturday at the conference. Learn more and submit here.
APPAM will open a separate Call for Late-Breaking Roundtables later this year.
Here are a few helpful tips:
-
Submissions that demonstrate diversity in terms of organizational affiliations, professional roles, race/ethnicity, content, author/participant backgrounds and/or ideology & methodology - through questionnaire answers - will be prioritized in the review process.
-
Individuals may only serve as a presenting author on two panels throughout the conference, though they may serve in other roles unlimited times.
-
Individuals may not serve as a chair or discussant for a panel on which they are also presenting a paper.
-
The final phase of the acceptance process will specifically entail vetting submissions for the aforementioned types of diversity and multidisciplinary perspectives
-
Fully formed panels have a higher acceptance rate. Single paper listings will be listed and updated weekly starting the week of February 13.
