New Format, New Archive starting in Summer 2014
Beginning in Summer 2014 we are transforming our conference structure into a series of annual summer International Workshops with a new format of a three-day event with intensive international expert workshops in the mornings (9 am - 12 noon) and contributed papers in the afternoon.
We use internet tools for live presentations by experts from around the world for the morning intensive workshops. The morning workshops will be webcast and also recorded to create a free internet video archive of expert presentations. Afternoon sessions may be webcast.
While initial sponsors are Marquette University and the University of Denver, we hope to collaborate with other universities worldwide for sponsorship of the events and the archive series.
