SYMPOSIUM LIVE ONLINE

The purpose of the SignWriting Symposium Online is to bring people together to share SignWriting projects, theories and contributions, 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.

You are welcome to join us live on the Symposium dates: July 21-24, 2014, on the web.

We will provide a schedule of online events, and information on how to use the software to present online, if you wish to participate live on the web. But there are no requirements to present live. Your written papers, slide presentations and video presentations will represent your work, with or without your live participation.

Before the presentation deadline, we will announce how to post your presentations on the web directly.

We look forward to reading and viewing your work with SignWriting, and to possibly meet you in July, online or in person...
