Please pay particular attention, in your planning, to the number of participants in your session, as this may affect the time that you have for presentations. Over the last few weeks, several presenters have had to cancel their participation in the conference, which may mean that you have a bit MORE time to present in your session. But in all cases, we want to make sure that everyone who is listed in a session has adequate time to present, and that there is ample time for discussion as well! If there are 4 presenters in your 75 minute session, each presenter should really limit her/his presentation to 15 minutes, for example, so that there will be at least 15 minutes for discussion.
For poster sessions, we are assuming that presenters will stay with their presentation materials for the first hour or 75 minutes of the poster session. After that, you can leave your materials up for the rest of the poster session, but you don't need to stay with them.
We're looking forward to a great conference!
We are pleased to announce that Lisa Bowleg will be a keynote speaker at our conference. Dr. Bowleg is an expert in the area of HIV prevention research in African-American communities.
If you will be presenting a POSTER at the conference, this information applies to you.
You will be supplied with a tri-fold to present your poster. Laying flat, they measure 36” high and 48” wide. They have two side sections each 12” wide and a middle section 24” wide. This means that the side sections will each fit four 8.5X11 (landscape orientation) sheets of paper (which could be printed PowerPoint slides) and the middle section will fit eight sheets, for a total of 16 possible sheets of paper. Please bring thumbtacks for affixing your papers to the boards.
If you have any questions about this, please contact Ellie Brown: ebrown AT wcupa DOT edu

A tentative schedule for the March AWP Conference in Philadelphia is now available for review to those individuals who have had a submission accepted to the conference. We hope this will help you plan your travel and conference participation, and we also hope that it will encourage you to go ahead and register for the conference if you have not already done so (reduced registration rates end on January 20th).
In order to view the schedule, you will need to visit the All Academic site (the site where you submitted your proposals or reviewed proposals). The address for that site is:
http://convention3.allacademic.com/one/awp/awp11/
You will find options there to Browse or Search the Preliminary Program.
Our main goal, at this point, is to help you plan your participation in the conference. That said, we certainly want to know if there are significant problems. If you notice that something is missing from the program, or that you have been scheduled for a presentation that you are no longer able to make, please let us know as soon as possible, but certainly by January 20th. The printed program will be derived from this online program, so if you find editorial changes (you realize there is a typo in your abstract, etc.) you should let us know about those as well. The contact person for all scheduling changes is Jen Bacon (email: jbacon AT wcupa.edu).
