What to Expect:
From this inaugural meeting, we hope to discuss future plans. We also hope to publish
a special issue of a renowned academic journal and potentially an edited book based
on research presented or ideas discussed at the first conclave. We will hold a public
keynote address for consortium members but also including sponsors, industry, and
students.
Program and Abstracts:
In order to prepare the program, please submit an abstract by Dec. 19, 2022, about the research you’d like to present (and perhaps publish later). This abstract
is required of all three of the following submission types (350 word limit, including
references, if any).
- Completed research paper.
- Research in progress.
- Concept talk.
The concept talk is a novel format. We will hold traditional paper sessions (completed research paper and in-progress research), focused on discussion rather than formal presentation. As an invitation only meeting, all are encouraged to present.
The concept talk is a focused discussion for group brainstorming of challenging ideas. Concept talk leaders should submit an abstract based on secondary research to introduce relevant concepts, prior research findings, future directions for research, and implication questions around a topic; conclave members will bring thought-leading perspectives to bear on the issue. This discussion might be summarized for a discussion section in the special issue of a journal or an edited book, comprising the outline of an idea and comments from several colleagues adding additional thoughts. In this manner, we hope to push strategic communication to consider future challenges proactively rather than reactively.
