ENTERING YOUR PROPOSAL
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.

PROPOSAL AND PRESENTATION LIMITS
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.

PROPOSAL DESIGN AND ABSTRACT
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.

PROPOSAL REVIEW
Expert reviewers from the NAGC Networks 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 2017 regarding the status of your proposal submission(s).

*Empirical proposals submitted to the Research & Evaluation Network must include a scientific process description (900 words max).
