Biomechanics Interest Group (BIG)
American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
Dear Colleagues,
The ACSM 2011 annual meeting will be held next summer (June 1-4) in
Denver, Colorado, USA. You are invited to submit a session proposal. I
have attached ACSM session definitions below. There are seven different
session types in two categories. BIG members have been successful in the
past in proposing for different session types. You do not have to be an
ACSM member to submit or participate in a session.
These session proposals are an excellent opportunity to influence
programming and have your area of interest and expertise appear at the
annual meeting, in addition to presentations in Free Communication
sessions. ACSM fills these slots from the proposals submitted, so you
have to be in it to win it!
If there is a topic or research area that you would like to see at next
year's meeting, please get together with your colleagues and submit a
proposal. Note that there are many slots for 1 hour Tutorial Lectures -
a great format for educating attendees about the current state of
knowledge in your field or subfield, with one to three presenters.
Please note that different numbers of presenters are required for
different formats. I have added details below about the number of
presenters listed in these sessions at this year's meeting where numbers
are not specified in the definitions. FYI, I have also noted the total
number of each session scheduled at this year's meeting in parentheses
after the session type (individual session types can be browsed here:
http://www.abstractsonline.com/Plan/browse.aspx).
Please send your submission to me (milner@utk.edu) by May 19, 2010. The
BIG executive committee will review the proposals and obtain feedback
from the BIG membership during our business meeting in Baltimore. The
BIG executive committee will then rank and recommend the proposals to
the ACSM program committee by the June 20 deadline. The ACSM program
committee will make the final selection for inclusion in the 2011
meeting.
Best regards,
Clare Milner
