<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.6pt"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Having wrapped up another successful convention in Philadelphia, we are grateful to all those who participated in making the 2015 convention such a dynamic event.
If you presented a paper, you can still <b>upload your 2015 Convention paper</b>, and any ASEEES members or convention attendees can now read any uploaded papers. Please keep in mind that this is voluntary, so only the papers that were uploaded by the presenters
will be available. The instructions can be found at: <a href="http://www.aseees.org/convention/upload-paper">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.6pt"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">We are already planning for the

<b>Global Conversations</b>: <a href="http://www.aseees.org/convention/2016-theme">
http://www.aseees.org/convention/2016-theme</a> We anticipate this convention to be very well attended. Please note that panel/roundtable proposals have a
<u>much higher</u> chance of acceptance than individual paper submissions. We strongly encourage all prospective participants to organize, or be part of, panel/roundtable proposals. You can use our paper/panel wanted board to find your panelists:
<a href="http://www.aseees.org/convention/paperspanels-wanted-board">http://www.aseees.org/convention/paperspanels-wanted-board</a> The call for proposals will be posted by mid-December. The proposal deadlines are:

Feb 15 </span>for panel/roundtables.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
