Panel Organizer
Guidelines
Deadline for Abstracts/Papers
and Early Registration: March 15, 2008
OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY:
As panel organizer, you have the principal responsibility
for your panel. Your job includes monitoring preparations of your panel's
participants and maintaining liaison between them and B&ESI. Be sure (1)
your panel maintains high professional standards; (2) you and your panel
participants are well prepared and strictly observe all deadlines. Finally, you
are responsible to see that all registration fees are paid by those within your
panel. The fee for each participant on the panel, except the organizer, is $380
($430 after March 15, 2008). The fee for the
panel organizer is $190 ($240 after March 15, 2008).
SUGGESTED PANEL FORMAT:
Chairperson, three papers presented by respective authors,
two to four discussants, with at least one discussant assigned to
comment on each paper. (Other formats, such as moderator and panelists or
workshops, also might be used.)
SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS:
This is your most important job because the quality of your
panel depends principally on its participants. A mix of young scholars with new
ideas and older, more seasoned researchers can be conducive to a mutually
advantageous exchange. Also, try to include both academics and non-academics
among your panel's program participants.
CONFERENCE SESSION TIME ALLOCATION:
One hour, 30 minutes.
DEADLINE:
Complete panel/workshop information must be received by March 15, 2008. After that date, sessions will be
accepted only on a space-available basis.
CONFERENCE FORMAT:
The conference format is intended to foster active
involvement by all attendees. Most of those attending are on the program; and,
except for a few general sessions, the program consists of small discussion
groups meeting concurrently. Including program participants, attendance at a
typical panel may range from 10 to 50, depending on the topic's popularity and
the participants’ prominence. You and the other participants in your panel
might benefit from inviting people to attend your panel. However, the most
fruitful discussions often occur when only a small group of interested
individuals is involved. To avoid unrealistic expectations, advise prospective
participants in advance regarding the program format and the typical size of
panel attendance.
INFORMATION NEEDED BY B&ESI: (See sample below)
After receiving commitments from panel participants, send us
the following: (1) Suggested panel title; (2) Category (see "Subject
Categories" below); (3)
Professional affiliations, paper titles, mailing addresses (and if available
e-mail addresses), phone, and fax numbers for the chair, paper presenters,
co-authors, and discussants.
SESSION SCHEDULING REQUESTS:
When establishing the conference panel schedule, we face
numerous constraints, such as minimizing conflicts between topics and making
sure no one is scheduled in two panels at the same time. If extenuating
circumstances will allow one of your participants to attend only on a specific
day or time, note these constraints at the top
of your panel information. All scheduling requests must be received in writing
by March 15, 2008. Making adjustments
after panels have scheduled is virtually impossible.
