If you do not have a sponsor, please contact LILCPr...@gmail.com or a list of possible divisions and committees that can act as sponsors can be found on the NCLA (https://ncla.info/) and SCLA (http://scla.net/) websites. We can also assist if you need program ideas.
All program submission information will be available on the conference website soon as well. Please see the attached Program Proposals Guidelines for further information.
The submission form must be completed by December 13, 2024.
The schedule of programs will be finalized by the conference committee at our meeting in January and notifications will follow shortly thereafter. Please be advised that we can only reserve space for programs with defined content.
We look forward to working with you to present a great conference experience for all. Please let me know if you have any questions.
