Info from David Rumsey:

Hi everyone!

Are you attending ATA62 in person? Want to meet your other Nordic Division friends for food or drinks?

Send me an email to: davidrumsey@outlook.com and I will try to arrange a venue where we can gather informally on Wednesday night.

Also be sure to meet your fellow Nordic division members at the Welcome Celebration on Wednesday Oct 27 from 5:30 – 7:00 pm. Look for the “Nordic” table in the room, and meet there around 6:30 if you want to join us.

Tusen tack!

Advance call for ATA62 conference speaker nominations

By

Greetings, Nordic Division members!

ATA62 will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Oct. 27–30, 2021.

With the upper Midwest a hub of Nordic culture in the United States, the Division hopes to field a strong slate of presentation proposals.

While the formal ATA process for registering proposals has not yet started, we invite all ND members to send suggestions for topics and/or speakers to our individual addresses (below) and to divisionnd@atanet.org. The deadline is sooner than you think, and we want to be able to get a head start on planning!

We are looking for the following:

  • Your own session proposals. You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to share what you know with your colleagues!
  • Suggestions for topics. Even if you cannot present on the topic – maybe someone knows someone who can!
  • Suggestions for individuals/institutions that might be good sources of Distinguished Speaker candidates. If you have any
    connections, let us know, because a personal invitation always works best.

If you want to discuss your idea with us, don’t hesitate to reach out.

We look forward to your input!
