Call for Papers/Poster/Sessions

Paper Abstracts/Organized Sessions Due: August 10, 2008

Poster Abstracts Due: September 1, 2008

Submitting Papers & Posters
All papers and posters must be accompanied by a 200-250 word abstract. All papers are scheduled for 15-minutes with an additional 5 minutes for questions. Posters are restricted to 4 x 6 feet (1.2 x 1.8 m) in size. All presenters must be current APCG members and pay meeting registration fees. If registration is not received by September 7, 2008 for all posters, the abstract will not be included in the program. If you are not a current member, your membership fee will be included in the cost of registration.

Each registrant is entitled to submit no more than one abstract, either for a poster or for a spoken paper, although you may be listed as a non-presenting co-author on more than one abstract.

How to Submit Abstracts
The submission of paper and poster abstracts must be done electronically by emailing your abstract to katie.kennedy@alaska.edu by 11:59 PM on August 10, 2008 for papers and 11:59 PM on September 7, 2008 for posters. Your final inclusion in the Conference Program will be withheld until your registration is paid in full (see deadlines above).

Organized Sessions
The APCG strongly encourages submission of organized sessions, which focus on a particular theme of interest to our membership. To submit an organized session, you must do the following: (1) ask each member of your session to register for the conference; (2) collect all abstracts for your session; and (3) submit an entire organized session proposal with the title of the proposal and all abstracts electronically either as an attachment or in-text to katie.kennedy@alaska.edu by August 10, 2008. If you choose to submit a “Panel Session”, you only need to include the names of the panel participants, a title of the panel, and an abstract for the entire session. Members of sessions who have not registered will not appear in the final program and they may be replaced with another paper presenter, so please make sure your session participants all register in time.

Digital and Other Media
Digital projectors compatible with standard formats will be available in each room, and there will be a PC laptop, with PowerPoint and MS Word on it, available for presenters. It is crucial for presenters to bring an electronic copy of their presentation on a USB drive or CD. We cannot attach personal laptops to the equipment. You are strongly encouraged to bring “Plan B” backups and hard copies (transparencies or handouts) for all digital media. Standard overhead projectors, slide projectors, or other media can be made available if requested via email by September 7, 2008 (send to: katie.kennedy@alaska.edu).
