IGALA is a non-profit organization and welcomes bids to host IGALA conferences from academic institutions active in researching and teaching language, gender and sexuality issues.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please contact Denise<https://people.cal.msu.edu/troutma1/> Troutman<https://people.cal.msu.edu/troutma1/>, IGALA President, at troutma1 at msu.edu<mailto:troutma1 at msu.edu>, so that she can officially register your interest.

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 (funding agencies, sponsors)
  *   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
