Proposal Submission Information

The following submission types will be solicited in the conference’s15 policy areas:

Panel: Panels include a session organizer, chair, one to two discussants, and three to four papers. Panels with four papers are encouraged to have two discussants. Presenting authors may not serve as the chair or discussant on the same panel. Individuals may present on up to two panels throughout the conference, though they may serve as a chair or discussant unlimited times.

Poster:Poster submissions are single paper proposals that are presented in a poster format. Presenters will be asked to discuss their work and answer questions during one of two poster sessions.

Roundtable:Roundtables do not include papers, but rather feature speakers who will discuss a topic from varying perspectives and draw the audience into a discussion on the topic. Roundtable proposals should include up to four speakers plus a moderator. The moderator cannot also be a speaker in the same session.

Single Papers:Single papers are proposals that will later be combined with other single papers to be presented as cohesive panel sessions around a single topic.

Student Research: APPAM is pleased to once again acceptstudent research paper submissions at the Fall Conference. Submitted research must have been conducted by a current student or recent graduate student.Student research submissions will be combined to form a cohesive panel with four student research papers, a chair, and up to two discussants. These sessions will take place throughout the conference.

Workshops:NEW in 2023! APPAM is seeking workshop proposals that will take place during regular conference programming over an extended 180-minute timeslot. Workshops should be interdisciplinary, hands-on and interactive, or focused on a special interest or skill training topic. Workshop proposals must include one moderator/facilitator and up to four speakers.

APPAM is no longer accepting Super Session proposals. Instead, each policy area will receive one reserved Roundtable timeslot for a timely and broadly appealing topic of the Program Committee's choosing.
