Submission

Create NEW Accounts for Proposal & Review Submission

Proposals are submitted using All Academic, an online conference management system.

Prior to submitting your proposal, you will need to:

  1. Create a new All Academic Account, and
  2. Have each of your co-speakers create an individual All Academic Account.

Online Proposal System
(available about April 1)

Note : You will need to create a new login at All Academic. Your AMTE username and password will not work, nor will All Academic account information from prior conference proposals.

Proposals Must be Blinded

Proposals must be blinded for review, including the title, session description, and references. Do not name authors, presenters, panelists, institutions, states, counties, cities, projects, or websites. Instead, use “Author (year)” for citations and references, and “X” for specific names or identifying information (e.g., “Project X”).

Additional identifying information is saved as a property of Word and PDF files even if it does not appear in the written text. You must access and remove this data stored in the file properties prior to submission. SIAM has an informative how-to guide that may be helpful. 

Unblinded proposals will not be reviewed.

Submission Requirements

Be prepared to submit the following information for each proposed session:

Presenter Information

Provide presenter names in the order they should appear in the conference program.

Session Information

 Provide the presentation strand, session format, and duration, if applicable.

Title

 Provide an informative title of no more than 15 words; do not include acronyms or hyphens in your title. The title must be blinded.

Session Description

 Provide a brief description of the session (up to 40 words) to be included in the program. The description must be blinded.

Proposal

 All proposals must be: a) blinded for review; b) a maximum of two pages (excluding references); c) single-spaced, 12-pt font, with 1-inch margins; and d) pdf format.

Proposals longer than two pages (excluding references) will not be reviewed. Proposals should not include links to external websites that include additional content about the proposal. Proposals should provide sufficient information for reviewers to use the review criteria provided and include some detail of how the session will be organized in the proposed time frame.

Resources to Consider when Preparing a Proposal

With the exception of the Poster Session, the conference venue will provide a screen and digital projector for each room. Presentations requiring audio must indicate their request as part of the proposal submission. No other equipment will be provided by AMTE. For the Poster Session, a 36” x 48” foam board, push pins, and an easel will be provided. Laptop computers and/or audio speakers are not appropriate for use in the Poster Session. Internet access will be available to presenters and attendees in all conference areas.

Limits on Participation

Regardless of session format, an individual may serve as lead presenter for one session and may appear no more than twice within the program. Lead presenters must personally certify all co-presenters have confirmed their willingness to participate in the session. Lead presenters must be listed first in the author order in All Academic.
