ICA 2008 Conference Online Program Launches

The International Communication Association 58th Annual Conference program is now available online. You can go to the conference paper submission link on the ICA homepage or directly to http://convention2.allacademic.com/one/ica/ica08/

Once on this page, you will see the "Search the Program" link. This year there are several features:

  • Search for your specific schedule or to search for any session.
  • Search any program, by division.
  • "Events Calendar" tab allows you to see the entire schedule, one day at a time.
  • "My Schedule" allows you to add any sessions to your own printable personal conference schedule. (Requires member login)

The PDF version and the Days-At-A-Glance versions will be available on April 1.

Presenters are reminded that rooms are equipped with an LCD projector, an overhead projector, and a screen. You will need to provide your own laptop computer. All audio visual presentations need to be converted to be played from your laptop.

NOTE: PLEASE DIRECT ALL CORRECTIONS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT PROGRAM TO MHALEY@ICAHDQ.ORG OR CONFERENCE@ICAHDQ.ORG.

Paper submitters will be able to upload revised versions of their papers from April 1 through April 30, 2008.

ONE VERY IMPORTANT NOTE to those in the Scholar to Scholar Interactive Plenary (poster) session: Please visit the ICA website to access important presentation tips at http://www.icahdq.org/conferences/interactive.asp. There are cash prizes of $500, $250, and $100 for the top three papers in this session.

If you haven't already registered, we invite you to do so now and receive the preregistration rate. Invite a colleague to come along! Even though the conference preregistration deadline is May 2, we urge all planning to attend to make their hotel and airline reservations BEFORE April 15 to ensure accommodation.

Here's the link to register for the conference: http://www.icahdq.org/conferences/2008/2008confinfo.asp.

While there, follow the links on that page to the hotel and airline information sites. Members whose membership has lapsed and Paper Submitters can still get member conference rates by renewing their membership or joining at the same time. Click on the "Paper Submitters, current and former ICA members register here!" link and log in. Follow the link on the next page to the dues invoice page and follow the instructions. It's that easy!

IMPORTANT NOTICE! USA RESIDENTS attending the ICA conference in Montreal are reminded that passports are now required for travel to Canada!
