PLEASE NOTE:  There are some changes and new things for our conference 
this year.  There is an overall limit of 5 submissions per presenter 
this year.  We also are instituting an “extended session,” so read the 
calls for the divisions or interest groups to whom you are submitting 
carefully and make sure to follow all the guidelines.  There are 
tutorials available on the website to assist you with the submission system.

Tips for Online Submission:
INDIVIDUAL PROPOSAL:  SUBMITTING A PAPER, POSTER, OR EXTENDED ABSTRACT?  
Have your document ready to upload!
You MUST upload a paper, poster for the interactive paper session, or 
extended abstract in order to complete the submission process.
Before submitting your document, remember to remove all author 
identification from the text, cover page, and the file properties. (In 
the "File" menu select "Properties," delete any identifying information, 
click "OK," and save the document.)

SESSIONS PROPOSALS:  SUBMITTING A PANEL OR ROUND TABLE PROPOSAL?  Plan 
ahead!
The Session Organizer submits the panel proposal, and enters all of the 
panel information including the abstract rationale, and listing of all 
panel participants. When entering a panel participant, please SEARCH THE 
DATABASE for the participants. ENTER ONLY 2 OR 3 LETTERS OF THE FIRST 
AND LAST NAMES WHEN SEARCHING. This strategy will minimize the 
possibility of missing a record because of a 'special' character in the 
first or last names. Creating a second record for a person already in 
the data base will cause problems in the future. In the Panel 
Description field enter the text of your panel proposal including 
rationale, presentation authors and titles, and abstracts or any other 
information mentioned in the Call for Papers. You can do this by copying 
and pasting the text of the panel proposal from your word document.

CONSIDER SUBMITTING A PAPER FOR THE PLENARY INTERACTIVE PAPER (POSTER) 
SESSION
Most ICA divisions and interest groups are accepting paper submissions 
for the Plenary Scholar-to-Scholar Interactive Paper (Poster) Session. 
If your paper submission would benefit from a highly visual, interactive 
presentation format, please consider submitting a paper for the poster 
session.

ICA MEMBER ASSOCIATIONS CAN SUBMIT ONLINE
ICA Member Associations are eligible for at least one panel program at 
the conference. The highest ranking elected officer or designated 
program planner of each Member Association is invited to submit a panel 
proposal through the online submission system by the 01 November 
submission deadline. Follow the instructions for submitting a panel 
session and submit under Sponsored Sessions.

Help is available:
If you need help with online submission, contact the appropriate ICA 
division or interest group program planner. Contact information is 
listed in the Call for Papers. All divisions and interest groups are 
accepting only electronic submissions.
