Please note that our extended deadline to submit a proposal was February 22, 2016.
We are currently in the process of reviewing the submitted proposals and we will be reaching out to all applicants with an answer shortly.
Thank you.
Please review the presentation formats below carefully and select the presentation format that best suits your work.
Presenters can propose to give a 15 or 30 minute presentation of an academic research paper or project. This will be followed by a 5 minute (in the case of the 15 minute presentations) or a 10 minute (in the case of the 30 minute presentations) question and discussion period, which will be facilitated by a moderator. Participants who wish to present as a group, or in an alternative format (e.g. workshop, artistic exhibition, performance, etc.) should submit in the alternative format category and specify any special requirements you may have.
Please be sure to identify your equipment/space needs on the submission form.
* The 15 minute presentation format is recommended for works-in-progress and demonstrations; however, an abstract with a clear scope and session goals is required. Students in the thesis proposal stage of their work are also strongly encouraged to choose this format.
Presenters will be given 15 minutes to present an academic research paper or project via Skype. This will be followed by a 5-minute question period, which will be facilitated by a moderator. Individuals who are interested in presenting at the conference from universities outside of Montreal who are unable to travel are strongly encouraged to choose this format.
Presenters will prepare a poster or bring an iPad, tablet, or laptop for a multimedia presentation that showcases their academic work. For example, this could be in the form of an interactive learning project like a website, or an infographic describing your work. Posters and iPad stations will be set up for 60 minutes throughout the lunch break and conference attendees will browse and interact with the presenter and presentations. Presenters should be prepared to explain their research in 3 minutes or less and to respond to questions.
The posters should be 3 feet x 4 feet or 36" x 48" and the tablet or laptop can be your own or borrowed from the Concordia library (if you are a Concordia student). Presenters will be expected to remain next to their poster during poster presentation time (see tentative schedule here)
An abstract with a clear scope of this media or poster project is required. Please see the abstract guidelines at the beginning of this document.
