32 Program of the 80th Annual A WORD ABOUT THE SESSIONS The sessions that make up the bulk of the program fall within four categories: Forum An interactive format organized around a tightly focused theme. Formal presentations are kept to a minimum to encourage discussion between presenters and audience. Forums are two hours. General Session Consists of Posters and Contributed Papers (15 minutes), each submitted individually by its author(s). Presentations are grouped together by the program chair around a particular theme, usually geographic or methodological. Session chairs are designated by the program chair. Symposium A group of 15-minute presentations on a well-defined theme submitted together by a chair. Also includes poster presentations submitted as a group and organized around a single theme. Electronic Symposium A discussion format in which the organizer posts the papers on the web at least one month before the meeting. No papers are read at electronic symposium as it is assumed that attendees will have read the material beforehand. Generally a few minutes summary of the papers are the introduction to the two-hour discussion session. Debate- A Debate is a format designed to encourage debate and discussion of current issues. A Debate consists of a moderator and discussants representing at least two different perspectives. No papers are listed with the session. Debate sessions may have no fewer than 4 discussants and no more than 6 discussants. Debates are two hours long. Any of these sessions may be sponsored and/or invited. The designation sponsored indicates the support of an SAA committee, or an organization outside SAA. The designation invited reflects a special status and role within the meeting, as defined by the Program Committee Chair. All sponsored and invited sessions are subject to review by the Program Committee, as are all other submissions, and are subject to the three-role rule. Because numerous committees wish to sponsor sessions, the Program Committee must balance such requests with other program goals; as a result, in some circumstances, requests for sponsored sessions may be rejected. The only exceptions to the review process and three-role rule are the opening and plenary sessions. Note: All poster sessions are 2 hours in duration. Please check the schedule for these sessions in Sessions at a Glance. SAA s 81st Annual in 2016! Plan now to attend the SAA 81st Annual in Orlando, FL, April 6 10, 2016. Guidelines for contributors (Call for Submissions) who wish to submit papers, posters, or forums for consideration are posted on SAAweb ( www.saa.org). The Online Submissions System for Orlando will open on May 4, 2015.
