Clarification of Session Proposals
This clarification is in response to some recent queries regarding the GCMAS
Technical Symposium. Our intent is to allow those submitting session
proposals the greatest freedom in formatting their sessions.
If you wish to present some of your own work, but need more time than is
customary at podium presentations, then it would be appropriate to submit a
proposal with yourself as the only presenter, requesting only one 30-minute
block of time. If you wish to conduct a panel discussion of a controversial
issue, then it would be appropriate to list several presenters, and to
request an hour or more. The choice of presentation styles, the number of
presenters, and the session duration are all up to you as you create your
session proposal.
Once the call for proposals is closed (December 17th), Dr. Steven Stanhope
(Symposium Coordinator) will work with others at GCMAS to blend selected
proposals into an overall symposium.
For your convenience, submission details are reproduced below:
CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS
Technical Symposium
Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society
Location: Portland, Oregon
Date: April 6, 2005
Time: 3:30-6:00 pm
Proposal submission deadline: December 17, 2004
Notification of proposal acceptance: January 17, 2005
GCMAS meeting information: http://www.gcmas.org
Session Format:
Presentations will take the form of "mini-symposia" each lasting 30 minutes.
The topics and format for each 30-minute session will be determined by the
session organizer(s), WHO MAY PROPOSE MORE EXTENSIVE SESSIONS by combining
two or more consecutive 30-minute time slots. Free scientific papers,
lectures, point/counterpoint debates, demonstrations, small group
goal-directed discussions, and other formats may be proposed. The Technical
Symposium is currently scheduled over a two and one half hour block of time.
The first two hours will be dedicated to session presentations, that may run
in parallel. The final session will be a 30-minute sound-off, during which
presenters will summarize the outcome(s) of their session in a two-minute
sound bite; session participants will also have an opportunity to make
recommendations for future Technical Symposia.
Proposal Process:
Petition for a session will be by submission of a concise proposal, that
should contain a session title, name and affiliation of presenter(s),
description of the session format (lecture, discussion, demonstration,
debate, etc.), overview of the session content, session goal(s), and a
description of the intended audience. In addition, please note special
needs for audio visual and meeting room layout.
Dual Submission is Encouraged:
While the Technical Symposium offers an opportunity to delve more deeply
into technical issues, our GCMAS general sessions provide the vehicle to
share information with both clinical and technical partners. We therefore
welcome session proposals even if companion abstracts have already been
submitted via the conference website.
Eligibility for Proposal Submission:
Both the session proposal process and Technical Symposium are open to anyone
wishing to contribute. Neither membership in the GCMAS, nor conference
registration, is required, but please consider registering for the
conference to help stimulate discussion with clinical and technical
partners.
Cost:
There is no cost to submit a session proposal, however, there may be a
nominal fee to participate in the symposium. Please consult the conference
website for details as they become available.
