2025 MPAEA/NMAEA Call for Presenters

Presentations

• In-Person Only
• Concurrent Sessions are 55 or 110 minutes
• Preconference Sessions are 3 hours

Please Note Our Focus

We value conference sessions that are participatory; that is, sessions that create opportunities for participants to actively build knowledge together. We have often found that even conference sessions that purport to be active and participatory often end up being a lecture with some light Q&A or a quick survey. This is a comfortable dynamic for many, but it is not as conducive to learning as participatory approaches can be. Therefore, we ask that your proposal describe how you will ensure that your session has elements that are participatory, active, and encouraging of critical thinking and real-life problem solving.

Proposals are due October 15

Presenter Agreement

I understand that if my session proposal is accepted, all presenters agree to and are aware that:

• I must register and pay for the conference by December 13, 2024.  Failure to do so may result in cancellation of my presentation.
• I am responsible for all personal transportation, hotel room, and meal expenses. (Breakfast and lunch are included with conference registration.)
• I must refrain from changing the conceptual content of the session after it has been accepted.
• The Conference will provide a projector, screen, podium, and microphone; I am responsible for bringing a computer and adaptors to connect my device to the projector (VGA or HDMI).
• I am responsible for the security of my equipment and materials.
• I will not be paid an honorarium.
• I grant permission to MPAEA/NMAEA to use photos taken for future promotional purposes.

You will be notified by November 1 if your proposal has been accepted.
