You are also welcome to join us live on the Symposium dates: July 21-24, 2014, on the web, but you are not required to present live online. We will provide a schedule of online events, and information on how to use the software to present online, if you wish, but your written paper, slide presentation or video presentation can also represent your work, with or without your live participation.

Before the presentation deadline, we will announce how to post your presentations on the web directly.

The purpose of the SignWriting Symposium Online is to bring people together and to share our SignWriting work publicly, not only during the Live Presentation dates of July 21-24, 2014, but also in a Symposium Web Archive that will remain on the web for future generations.

We look forward to reading and viewing your work with SignWriting, and to possibly meet you in July, online or in person...
