Call for Proposals for the organization of future IGALA conferences


Dear IGALA members,

On behalf of the IGALA Executive and Advisory Board, I would like to invite IGALA members to submit their proposal for the organization of future IGALA conferences.

IGALA members interested in organizing future IGALA conferences are invited to present their proposal to the IGALA Board, during their next meeting, to take place on the 4th of June 2013 in Vancouver, one day before the IGALA8 conference opens (http://www.igala8.com).

If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please send an email to both me, Lia Litosseliti (l.litosseliti at city.ac.uk<mailto:l.litosseliti at city.ac.uk>), and Ana Cristina Ostermann (aco at unisinos.br<mailto:aco at unisinos.br>), so that we can officially register your interest and allocate a specific time slot for your proposal presentation.

Your proposal should include the following information:

*        Name and affiliation of: Organizing Team Members & Conference Chair
*        Proposed dates (2 at least)
*        Proposed location: country, city, specific venue
*        General information about the region
*        Access to the venue (plane, train, bus & distances)
*        Info and pictures of the venue and city
*        List of the infrastructure/facilities of the venue
*        List of reasons why this would be a good venue to host an IGALA conference (e.g. if the conference facilities can be available for free, as this reduces the registration fees, not been held there before, with a good 'catchment area', famous willing plenary speakers in the area already, etc)
*        Accommodation around the area
*        Visa info
*        Possibilities on themes for the conference
*        Estimation of the registration fees (range of prices)
*        What would be included in the registration fees
*        Possibilities of funding
*        Ability to act as treasurer for IGALA and the conference in the two years prior to the conference, i.e. to open a bank account and handle the disbursement of conference travel grants
*        Liaison with other associations
*        Other items you might like to add to show why this would be a perfect place to host an IGALA conference


Best regards,

Lia Litosseliti,
IGALA President
