As an association or meeting professional, you understand how important it is to provide attendees with the most cutting edge conference content and education. Presenting up-to-date conference content can often times be difficult especially when your call for papers closes 9-10 months before your association’s annual meeting.
Keep topics current by opening a “late-breaking call for papers” just a few months before your conference. Your online system for collecting, managing and reviewing final papers should allow you to leave a few session place holders where there would be a limited number of submissions and the review is expedited.
