   2. "PROPOSED SESSION" GROUP (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) SUBMISSIONS

   • Proposed Sessions are also welcome!
   • Sessions should include 4-5 speakers plus a session chair the session chair will also normally be the session proposer.
   • The proposer / session chair can present a 15-20 minute theme-setting paper as part of the introduction to the session. Alternatively someone else can be invited to chair the session and not present a paper at all. Or the proposer can simply serve as one of the session speakers.
   • The name of the session chair must be included with the session proposal.
   • Proposers will submit the names, member ID, and e-mail of each proposed speaker. The specific request for detailed speaker information will then be sent automatically to the proposed speaker to complete (using a Member ID, same email as indicated by the proposer, and confirmed current membership).
   • Each speaker will be invited to submit: a paper title, a brief description, seven keywords, and an abstract.
   • The proposer will be able to structure the session. However no speaker should be allowed more than 20 minutes speaking time.
   • Proposers should be aware that although the session is evaluated as a whole, each abstract is also evaluated independently. Occasionally, one or more papers is not accepted in the review process.
   • Proposers will be asked to keep their participants informed of the disposition of their papers for the session -- and proposers will be responsible for assuring that each speaker covers membership dues, registration, participant form, and related conference information.
   • All persons included in a proposed session must confirm that they will indeed attend the conference if their papers are accepted for the session.
