Call for Proposals for Pre-Conference Sessions
AAA 2012 Annual Conference
March 15 - 18, 2012Myrtle Beach, South CarolinaSubmission deadline: August 30, 2011 This is an opportunity to develop a full or half day session around a topic important to you and the academy. It is the perfect venue for a dialogue of ideas and/or an exploration of optional opinions and approaches.
A complete proposal should be submitted no later than August 30, 2011, for review by the Executive Committee. The pre-conference would take place March 15, 2012 with the full conference running from opening reception that evening through noon, March 18 at the Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort and Spa.
Proposals can be for full day or half-day programs and must specify a rationale for the program, the timing and progression among topics. Preference is given to programs that would interest a number of AAA members and possibly attract new participants or attendees to the conference. Some past topics can be revisited.

The proposals must also include a statement that all presenters agree to register for the pre-conference and conference itself. Waivers of the registration fees for special participants such as advertising professionals or non-faculty may be requested on a case-by-case basis. Following the conference, the pre-conference chair will submit up to a two-page summary of the presentations to be published in the Conference Proceedings.
