www.aseees.org/convention<http://www.aseees.org/convention>
Convention Theme: Transgressions<hrrp://www.aseees.org/convention/2017-theme>  The theme includes the centenary of the 1917 revolution.

The Proposal Submission closes on February 15: www.aseees.org/convention/cfp<http://www.aseees.org/convention/cfp>  ALL submissions - panel, roundtable, individual paper, lightning round presentation, and meeting request submissions - are due by Feb. 15.
New Session Types for 2017: Beyond the usual panel, roundtable and individual paper submissions, are accepting Book Discussion Roundtable and Lightning Round Presentation submissions. Please read the descriptions and rules for participation here: www.aseees.org/convention/rules<http://www.aseees.org/convention/rules>
Panelists Wanted Boards: We are anticipating a large number of proposals for the 2017 Convention. Individual paper submissions will have a MUCH LOWER chance of being accepted than panel/roundtable proposals. We STRONGLY encourage all interested participants to form, or become part of, a panel proposal. To assist in the process of forming panels, we have created the Panel/Paper Wanted Board: www.aseees.org/convention/paperspanels-wanted-board<http://www.aseees.org/convention/paperspanels-wanted-board>  If you are looking for a panel to join or a paper presenter for your panel, please review the proposals<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0ApSs2h2I7nkMdDc5N1FLQk0xZGhEcXBHWGw2aUhlUUE&rm=full#gid=0> on the online board. You can also indicate your willingness to volunteer as chair or discussant. You can also post your requests on the new ASEEES Commons: aseees.hcommons.org/groups/2017-convention-paper-panelist-wanted/<https://aseees.hcommons.org/groups/2017-convention-paper-panelist-wanted/> (See below for more information on the ASEEES Commons).
Membership Requirement: ALL individual paper and lightning round presentation submitters and panel/roundtable organizers in the US and abroad MUST be ASEEES members in order to submit a proposal. Please review the membership rules<http://www.aseees.org/convention/rules#membership> for participation.
