Submissions and Presentations

You do not need to submit a paper or present to attend this conference. However, we welcome paper submissions and offer a $250 “Best Paper Award” for the best paper submitted and presented at the conference. To be considered for the Best Paper Award, you must register and have emailed your paper to jbmalone@vt.edu before March 20, 2025. 

For interested registrants, there are two presentation tracks:

  1. Presentation of a complete or nearly complete paper. 
  2. Presentation of a working paper where the presenter is still in the initial research or drafting stages. Working paper presentations offer the presenter the ability to workshop their ideas and receive constructive feedback from others in the early stages of a paper’s development.
