Call for Competitive Papers & Special Topic Session Proposals AAA 2010 European ConferenceJune 4-6, 2010 Universita Cattolica Del Sacro Cuore Milano, Italy
Extended submission deadline: November 19, 2009.Based on the success we have had with our Asia-Pacific conferences, AAA is planning its first European conference, to be held in cooperation with the Universita Cattolica Del Sacro Cuore, Milano, Italy. This will be a stimulating event that focuses on research and special topics about Europe. Bob King will describe logistical details in a separate announcement once they are confirmed.Competitive Papers You are invited to submit competitive papers relevant to any aspect of advertising (theoretical, methodological, empirical, or philosophical) in one or more European country(ies), in multiple countries including at least one European country, or that have specific implications for at least one European country in consideration for presentation at the 2010 European Conference and for publication in the 2010 European Conference Proceedings. All submissions are subject to blind review. Completed papers will be given first preference. However, very detailed abstracts of at least 8 pages will be considered. Authors of accepted papers or abstracts must publish either the entire paper or a one-page abstract of the paper in the Proceedings. The Proceedings are copyrighted, and submissions may not be under consideration at other journals or conferences. Abstracts that are published in the Proceedings can be published in full in other publications or journals at a future date. Papers should not exceed 30 typed, double-spaced pages in length including references, appendices, tables, etc. Be sure to delete the title page and identification of the authors in the “Properties” function (see below) prior to submission. Citations are to be formatted using Journal of Advertising style. Special Topics Sessions You are invited to submit proposals for special topics sessions that cover an entire meeting period (usually 90 minutes). These sessions are designed to offer information and dialogue on topics of importance to advertising education and practice (e.g., current practitioner issues, creative topics, and/or pedagogical matters) within Europe, in multiple countries including at least one European country. A submission should include the following: (1) a clear rationale for addressing the topic over an entire meeting period and/or through contributions from several presenters, (2) the value of the session to conference attendees (including why such a contribution is not likely to be available elsewhere, (3) names and specific roles of all participants (please note that blind review is not possible with these proposals because the value depends in part on the selection of appropriate participants), and (4) details of how the session will be conducted under a unifying theme, including progression among sections and participants. Preference will be given to proposals providing the requested information in the greatest detail. Special topics chairs are responsible for generating a 1- to 3- page summary (after the session) for inclusion in the Proceedings as a non-refereed publication. All competitive and special topics submitters will be asked to check a statement specifying that at least one author of the paper agrees to register and attend the conference to present the paper. Failure to present an accepted competitive paper/special topics session will result in the competitive paper/special topics session being withdrawn from the conference proceedings. Only an author or presenter listed on the paper/special topics session is eligible to present at the conference. Additional Requirements
