Abstract Submissions have been closed.  There are still opportunities to get involved.

Special Sessions

Special sessions should NOT replicate existing ACLCA 2021 session formats (i.e., paper presentations and poster sessions). Within these constraints, the format is yours to design. Special Session submission comprises (usually up to) 3 or 4 speakers and a moderator. These sessions are more interactive than abstract presentations and can take on a number of formats including, but not limited to experts' discussion plus Audience Q&A; a rapid-fire sequence of five-minute talks, or a hands-on demo.

Student Poster Contest

Students are offered the opportunity to participate in our annual Student Poster Contest. This contest is offered only to currently enrolled students. Any student may enter by submitting an abstract through our submission process.

Proceedings

Accepted abstracts may be published in the ACLCA 2021 Conference Paper Proceedings. For those who chose to submit papers, all will undergo a review process and must meet the specified guidelines. Papers are due September 27, 2021.
