[Linganth] SLA Conference 2025: Panel Matchmaker Forum, Program Committee Office Hours, and more

[Josh Babcock]

We’re just under a month from the submission deadline for proposals to the
Society for Linguistic Anthropology’s 2025 Conference: Imagination,
Creation, Critique <https://2025slaconference.org>. As you work to prepare
your proposals, I’m excited to share some resources and updates on behalf
of the SLA Conference’s Program Committee.


Consider submitting a Poster Plenary Presentation


Showcase your research synchronously during our plenary Research Salon and
asynchronously by displaying your poster throughout the meeting. The
Research Salon will include refreshments and be scheduled as a marquee
event, without competing concurrent sessions.


The 2025 SLA Conference will have significantly less space for panels than
in past years, but beyond the logistical advantage of proposing a poster,
the medium offers opportunities to play with modalities that other session
types do not! Among other advantages, poster presentations can creatively
use nonlinear presentational formats, multimedia, and three-dimensional
elements using URLs or QR codes. Learn more about all our session types and
submission components here
<https://www.2025slaconference.org/call-for-proposals>.


Program Committee Office Hours


If you have questions, concerns, or points of clarification, or if you
would like to discuss your idea with Program Committee members, we will
hold an “Office Hours” event for you to chat with us synchronously. The
meeting will happen on Thursday, November 14, 2024, at 4 pm EST. You can sign
up here
<https://calendly.com/joshbabcock/2025-sla-program-committee-office-hours>.


Connect with other members to collaborate on a session proposal


Because oral presentation sessions (panels) must be submitted as a group,
we have created our Panel Matchmaker Forum to help potential session
organizers locate panelists beyond their current networks. Interested
presenters can also find panels seeking additional members. Check it out
here <https://2025slaconference.freeforums.net/board/1/general-discussion>!



Submissions are due December 6! Visit the conference website for full
details: https://2025slaconference.org.


We hope to see you in Chicago next May!
