2015 CALL FOR PAPERS

Submit Abstract Title & Category by May 4th, 2015
Submit One-Page Abstract <http://www.signwriting.org/symposium/2015/Call_For_Papers.html#Abstracts2015> by June 8, 2015
Submit Presentation <http://www.signwriting.org/symposium/2015/Call_For_Papers.html#Presentations2015> by July 6, 2015
Online live presentation: July 21-24, 2015

There are no limits to the amount of presentations one author can submit. Feel free to submit as many as you wish.

Because we can only present a few hours each day online during the four days of the Symposium on July 21-24, we do not know how many of your presentations can be accepted as online presentations. If there is not enough time to present all of your submissions, it is still good to submit them to us. We can talk about which presentations are more important to you, if a choice has to be made, but still present your other presentations on a web page, so they will still get exposure and remain on the web. Your work is valuable to all SignWriting users and will become web pages no matter what, with or without live presentations.

SYMPOSIUM LIVE ONLINE

You are welcome to join us live on the Symposium dates: July 21-24, 2015, 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 2015, online or in person...
