Individual Session Organizers
If you would like to organize one or two
sessions on a specific topic and have speakers/presenters
lined up, contact the conference organizer for approval.
Individual papers must still go through the regular registration
process using the above on-line registration form. However,
the "Comments" section of the form should make reference to the
special session (e.g., "this paper is part of a special
session on International Trade Disputes organized by
Prof. Jane Doe). The applicable submission deadlines are the same as
for regular paper presenters.
Multi-Session Programs by Affiliate Organizations
Affiliate Organizations may submit blocks of
sessions for inclusion in the program. They should contact the
conference organizer or the program assistant
by February 15 to state their intentions
of doing so. At this point they should indicate (a) how many
sessions they would like to sponsor and organize; (b) on which
days they want these sessions to be scheduled and the preferred
time slots; and (c) if these sessions will require particular
preparations by the on-site organizer at our conference venue
(e.g., catering, presentation tools). By March 12 at the
latest, the conference organizer must receive a structured text
file according to these guidelines
that specify the session titles, session chairs, paper titles and
authors, and possibly discussants.
CEA Sponsorship of Study Groups
The Canadian Economics
Association will make available up to $2000 per study group. The
funds can be used to organize sessions at the CEA meetings at
UBC, or they can be used for other initiatives. For example,
they can be used to fund part of the costs of an annual area group
conference, like those of the CETC, CESG, CMSG, CREE, or CPEG. To
receive these funds, the CEA asks that you: (1) organize one or more
sessions at the CEA meetings; (2) have at least 10 CEA members in your
conference/group; (3) acknowledge CEA sponsorship on your conference
program and similar documents; (4) create and maintain links between
your group and the CEA web pages. To apply, write to the conference
organizer.
