LOGIN
The proposal submission site login is not the same as your NAGC website login. If you are a past submitter, click on “lost your access key?" to retrieve it. It will be sent to the email address you provided when you first created an account.

First time users must create a new login by clicking on "join now" and follow the steps to create an account. The system will create an access key for you and send it to the email address you provide. Please only use one email address and create only one account.

PROCESS
The system will keep track of your progress, and you can return as many times as needed before the deadline to edit, add, withdraw, or revise your submission.

You may submit up to four proposals. However, in the final program an individual can only be a lead presenter on no more than two sessions and can appear as a co-presenter on up to two more sessions. This rule does not apply to NAGC Signature Series or Network Super Sunday Sessions which are invited presentations developed by the NAGC Convention Program Chair or Network Program Chair.

To present the very best and most relevant content, organized in 16 different Network strands, NAGC's Annual Convention proposals require a 100 word description that describes the session content to convention attendees and a 250 word description for evaluation purposes.* The 250 word description should include detailed information such as background research/theory and practical application to particular audience(s) and what attendees will learn. Do not include the names of any presenters in the descriptions.

Qualified reviewers conduct blind reviews using the NAGC rubric, which is accessible on this site prior to submission. Network Program Chairs and National Convention Program Committee members finalize the selections to ensure the process is fair, balanced and broadly representative of the field. You will receive notice via email in April 2016 regarding the status of your proposal submission(s).

*Empirical proposals submitted to the Research & Evaluation Network must include a scientific process description (750 words max).
