The Hyatt Regency will hold rooms at its special conference rates ($115.00-165.00) until 14 October. Those wishing to find room shares are advised to make use of the NACBS Facebook Page

Subject: NACBS 2009: Extension of Submissions Deadline

Posted by jaskelly under Announcement | Tags: 2009, kriegel, NACBS, submissions | 0 Comments

Dear H-Albion List Members,

Many thanks to everyone who has submitted panel and paper proposals for the
2009 NACBS Meeting in Louisville. I'm delighted to see a range of high
quality submissions across themes and chronologies from scholars at all
levels in their careers. I know that a number of you are working diligently
to complete panel proposals; others have recently begun their semesters. To
facilitate submission at this busy time, I'd like to extend the due date for
panel and paper proposals to FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, while still encouraging
you to get your proposals in as soon as possible. Full panels are
encouraged, but individual papers will be considered, too.

Thanks, too, for your patience with the new online system. The system is
working, but it does not give you a receipt confirmation. If you wish to
allay concerns about receipt or to make corrections, please write to me
after submission, and I will reply as soon as I can.

For those who are still looking to complete panels, I understand that
H-Albion and the new NACBS facebook page have worked wonders for many.
Please also send any remaining questions about panel formation my way.

Sincerely yours,
Lara Kriegel
