The President of the North American Serials Interest Group will open the first session of the 21st annual conference on May 4, 2006 in Denver, Colorado. The Rocky Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to a bustling metropolitan area that enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year. Denver has a lively downtown area as the city is overflowing with colleges, parks, museums, sporting events and more. Denver attracted people to its frontier atmosphere, starting off as a rowdy frontier and mining town. Today it still attracts individuals of the same spirit and they have helped it grow into a modern and sophisticated city. Denver's magnetism will be the perfect environment as we survey the serials vista.
To this end, the 2006 Program Planning Committee (PPC) invites proposals and/or program ideas for pre-conference, vision, strategy and tactics sessions. Please keep in mind the following:
The PPC will review all submitted proposals for their content, timeliness, and relevance to the conference theme and reserves the right to combine, blend, or refocus proposals to maximize their relevance and to avoid duplication.
PPC will treat all submissions as suggestions and guideposts.
Time management issues and reimbursement guidelines generally limit each session to two speakers.
Proposals may be suggested as one type of session and/or format and ultimately be accepted as any one of the other types of sessions or formats; this decision is the purview of the PPC.
Vision and Strategy speakers are required to produce a written paper for the conference proceedings. Because NASIG publishes its conference proceedings, content needs to be unique for copyright purposes.
ALL presentations must be original and not previously presented at other conferences.
