A reminder that Conference Proposals are due February 15th.
You can find the AMIA 2007 Proposal form at: http://www.amiaconference.com/2007/proposal_form.htm
If you are unable to complete the form online, please
contact the AMIA office for a hard copy of the submission form. An
important goal for the AMIA 2007 Conference is to present a balanced program -
one that includes a wide variety of topics, cutting-edge discussions of
technology, a balance of theory and practice, and invite new ideas and concepts
that may stimulate additional interest, involvement and educational benefit.
The program should address topics of concern to diverse perspectives and
constituencies and to archivists at all levels of experience. Please
submit a developed proposal, including the names and contact information for
each of the proposed speakers and an indication of their agreement to
participate. Each proposal goes through two Peer Review processes, and incomplete session proposals
that include only some of the speakers or that are missing information about
speaker participation are very difficult to assess when compared to complete
proposals. The
Conference Committee encourages submission of proposals that may include, but
are not limited to, the following formats: Traditional
Session: 90 minutes. Open session of 90 minutes,
consisting of speakers or a panel of no more than five individuals. Format may
be papers, panel discussion or a work in progress. New for 2007- Session: 60 minutes. Open session of 60
minutes. Open session of 60 minutes, consisting of speakers or a panel of no
more than four individuals. Format may be special focus, reporting, paper
presentation, or a work in progress. Workshop:
Limited-enrollment session of half day or full day, usually designed to teach
or refine skills. Screening: Screening
submissions must indicate formats, and must fit within allotted session times
(60 or 90 minutes) An
important reminder: Session participants must register
and secure institutional or personal funding. It is not the responsibility of
AMIA to provide funding for speakers. The Conference Committee's task is to have a global vision to ensure a
stimulating, balanced and professional program that will meet the diverse needs
of our members. The Committee is unable to accept all proposals submitted; and,
some individuals who propose sessions may be asked to revise their proposals to
help meet the wider needs of the program. Proposals are due February 15th. We are looking forward to seeing your proposals!
