We are anticipating an exceptionally large number of proposals for the 2016 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 If you are looking for a panel to join or a paper presenter for your panel, please review the proposals on the online board. You can also indicate your willingness to volunteer as chair or discussant. You can also use the 2016 Convention Facebook group.
Membership Requirement: ALL individual paper 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 for participation.
With any inquiries about the convention, please contact Margaret Manges, the convention manager, at aseees.convention@pitt.edu If you need assistance logging into the ASEEES members site or are experiencing other technical difficulties, please contact aseees@pitt.edu

Dear ESSA members,
ASEEES has just sent out a warning about panels for the next conference in Washington DC in November: "We are anticipating an exceptionally large number of proposals for the 2016 Convention."
If you have concerns that your panel will not be accepted, may I remind you that the Early Slavic Studies Association (ESSA), as an ASEEES member organization is entitled to sponsor a panel at the Convention. If you think your panel could serve as an ESSA-sponsored panel, let me know (don@wjh.harvard.edu), and we will see if we can arrange it.
All the best,
Don

Dear Don,
thank you for your proposal to sponsor a panel.
When I was submitting at ASEEES last week I saw the possibility to have a panel sponsored, too. And I searched the FAQs and everything to find out what it means that a panel is sponsored by an ASEEES member organization. I got very confused for I did not find out what it means that a panel is sponsored.
Could you,please, explain for us on the list how this is meant? And how we secure that we do everything right when submitting a sponsored panel?
I think this would be interesting for other non-native speakers who are organizing panels, as well.
All the best, Cornelia
