Draft Program:

Travel Funding:

  • The conference budget is fairly generous. We certainly have the funds to cover travel expenses of those presenting papers and will likely have sufficient funding to cover some of the expenses of discussants as well.
  • Note: We will be reimbursing discount economy class air fare and 4 nights of lodging at the conference hotel.

Submissions:

  • The submission deadline has passed. Registration is still open.
  • Deadline: December 15, 2017. Selections will be made and authors notified by January 5. A final conference schedule will be posted on the conference website by January 25, 2018.
