Presentations can take the following formats: 20 minute papers (plus question

languages, poster presentations summarizing projects, and 1 hour workshops on
successful methods of language preservation that can be adapted by a wide number
of language groups.

Suggested topics for talks, demos, and workshops include: web-based methods of
preservation, instruction, and collaboration, options for distance learning,

recordings, and multi-generational community-based language initiatives.
