APEC 2009 Paper Submissions Close In |
|||||||||
| |||||||||
 he Call for Papers site for APEC 2009 was held open for an additional week to accommodate the last minute wave of submittals. Now that the dust has settled, the conference committee has nearly 750 papers to review! And perhaps even better news, the conference committee reports that there are 400 volunteers lined up to conduct the peer-review process for these papers. The very core of APEC is the quality of this technical program. The Technical Program Committee will meet at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington DC on Sunday September 14 to evaluate and identify the very best of these papers. About 350 papers will make the cut. The committee will also organize the selected papers into technical presentation sessions, discuss the rap sessions and educational seminars. Authors will be notified by October 3rd and the deadline for final papers submission is November 28, 2008.
Additional opportunities to participate in the APEC program: Professional Education Seminars at APEC are each three and one-half hours (including breaks) in length, can range from broad to narrow in scope, and can vary from introductory to advanced in technical level. At APEC 2009, the seminars are scheduled during the morning and afternoon of Sunday, February 15th and the morning of Monday, February 16th. For more information on the Seminars and how to submit a proposal, go to http://www.apec-conf.org/images/PDF/2009/2009-author_instructions.pdf. Special Presentation Sessions are a great way to bring up topics that normally do not appear in the technical sessions. Speakers are invited to only make a presentation without submitting a formal manuscript for inclusion in the APEC 2009 Proceedings. The time allowed for each presentation is approximately 20 minutes, plus 2-3 minutes for questions and discussion. The special presentations will be made available through the APEC web site. To learn more, go to: http://www.apec-conf.org/content/view/273/238/. The deadline for submitting proposals for professional education seminars and for special presentations is August 29, 2008. Make your plans now to attend APEC 2009 February 15 through 19, 2009 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington DC. In addition to the educational seminars, technical sessions, rap sessions, and special presentations, the conference will feature a packed exhibition area with the latest products and exhibitor presentations. Finally, the conference committee is planning a guest program to see some of the highlights in the Washington DC area and the conference banquet.
