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!
