Individually Volunteered Papers
We do not have the option for individually volunteered papers (IVPs) this year. Feedback from members, attendees, and the meetings task force has indicated that these constructed sessions have not been consistently successful. Learn more about this decision.
Individuals can still present their paper in a group through the Oral Presentation Submission. However, participants are responsible for connecting with other paper presenters and form an oral presentation panel before submission. We are encouraging all to collaborate with your colleagues to form oral presentation sessions through the following ways:
- Use #AAA2024TAMPA on various forms of social media
- Make a post on the AAA Community Boards
- Connect on the 2024 Annual Meeting LinkedIn group
