*Call for Proposals, VRA Milwaukee 2014*

The Visual Resources Association’s 32nd Annual Conference will be held in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from Wednesday March 12th through Saturday March
15stin the elegant and historic Pfister
Hotel <http://thepfisterhotel.com/>.

Proposals are now being solicited for the 2014 program sessions, workshops,
papers, posters, special interest/user groups, and case studies.  All
proposals are welcome.  Click

go to the conference proposal form, which can also be accessed through
the Visual Resources Association Conferences
page<http://www.vraweb.org/conferences/index.html>
.


   - A session is a maximum 90 minute moderated session with 3 to 4
   speakers at 15 to 20 minutes each followed by a facilitated brief question
   and answer period.


   - A workshop is a 3 to 4 hour workshop to develop skills and experience
   in the field of visual resources, preferably with hands-on activities.


   - A paper is an individual idea submission, which will be reviewed for
   possible grouping into a session.


   - A special interest group is a 60 to 90-minute informal facilitated
   group discussion on topics related to a specific community within VRA.


   - A case study is detailed information about an individual, small group,
   or project, generally including the accounts of subjects themselves.
   Moderators are encouraged to submit proposals.  Individual case study
   proposals will be reviewed for possible groupings similar to the session
   format.


   - A poster advertises your research, and combines text and graphics to
   make a visually pleasing presentation. (

The quality of conference content depends upon YOUR ideas and
contributions, so get those creative juices flowing.   Use suggested topics
from VRA members (see below) or your imagination to propose ideas which
expand our outlooks beyond that which is familiar.  If there is an area of
concern or interest that you feel has not been adequately addressed in
previous programs, do consider participating in this process by submitting
a proposal.  Moderators may put out calls for speakers within a proposed
topic before submission of completed topics.  The VRA Executive Board will
be looking for complete, concise and articulate submissions with lists of
presenters, when applicable.  Specificity regarding audio-visual needs
including live internet connectivity is recommended.
