Deadline extended: ASA Annual Meeting

The submission deadline for the 79th Annual Meeting is extended to Monday, March 15. This is primarily due to a waiver just approved by the ASA Board of Trustees for this meeting only to permit video presentations by up to two panelists on panel sessions. 

The Trustees will waive the policy of January 2020 prohibiting video presentations, for panels only. (https://aesthetics-online.org/resource/resmgr/files/Policy_on_Use_of_Video_Prese.pdf) These panels should be restricted to no more than two video presenters for a panel session. ASA will provide one room with speakers (as ASA always does) and purchase an upgrade to high-speed internet for that room, where all such panels should be assigned. The panel organizer is responsible for bringing the laptop needed to loop in the video panelist, hook up speakers, and share questions from the in-person audience. Single paper presenters who cannot attend should be replaced on the program with an alternate. Panels with more than two members presenting via video should be dropped from the program.

As some might now be encouraged to submit a panel proposal for this meeting who would not have otherwise, it seemed only fair to extend the deadline. Please note that single papers may not take advantage of this video option, but we will continue to accept papers through March 15 on our Submittable site.
