You are also welcome to join us live on the Symposium dates: July 21-24, 2014, on the web. We will announce how that works in a few weeks, when we learn how to do this ourselves - ha!</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Before the presentation deadline, we will announce how to post your presentations on the web directly.</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">One last note: Do not present anything that you want to keep private, since all presentations and abstracts will be posted on the web, and will remain on the web long after the Symposium has ended. 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.</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">This first online Symposium is a learning experience for me (Val ;-), but once we accomplish a successful Symposium this year, it can become a tradition that is easier to work with in the future. So your suggestions for improvement are always welcome -</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">We look forward to reading and viewing your work with SignWriting, and to possibly meet you in July, online or in person...</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Valerie Sutton</div><div style="margin: 0px;">SWS-2014 Chair</div><div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(71, 135, 255);"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="mailto:sutton@signwriting.org">sutton@signwriting.org</a></span></div></div></div></body></html>________________________________________________
