First Call for Conference Papers and Proposals for Special Topics
Sessions
American Academy of Advertising 2009
Conference
(due 7 p.m. CST, Monday, October 6, 2008)
March 26-29, 2009
Hyatt Regency Hotel, Cincinnati, Ohio
Competitive Papers
You are invited to submit competitive papers relevant to any aspect of advertising (theoretical, methodological, empirical, or philosophical) in
consideration for presentation at the 2009 American Academy of Advertising (AAA) Conference and for publication in the AAA Conference
Proceedings.
All submissions are subject to blind review competition, and only completed papers (no proposals or abstracts) may be submitted. Only full-length
papers (and not abstracts) will be considered for presentation to the conference. Authors of accepted papers must publish either the entire paper
or a one-page abstract of the paper in the Proceedings.
The Proceedings are copyrighted, and submissions may not be under consideration at other journals or conferences. Abstracts that are published in
the Proceedings can be published in full in other publications or journals at a future date. Papers should not exceed 30 typed, double-spaced
pages in length including references, appendices, tables, etc. Be sure to delete the title page and identification of the authors in the
Properties function (see below) prior to submission.
Special Topics Sessions
You are invited to submit proposals for special topics sessions that cover an entire meeting period (usually 90 minutes). These sessions are
designed to offer information and dialogue on topics of importance to advertising education and practice (e.g., current practitioner issues,
creative topics, and/or pedagogical matters) that would not fit comfortably into the competitive paper format. However, topics may duplicate
those which would be covered by competitive papers.
A submission should include the following: (1) a clear rationale for addressing the topic over an entire meeting period and/or through
contributions from several presenters, (2) the value of the session to conference attendees (including why such a contribution is not likely to
be available elsewhere, (3) names and specific roles of all participants (please note that blind review is not possible with these proposals
because the value depends in part on the selection of appropriate participants), and (4) details of how the session will be conducted under a
unifying theme, including progression among sections and participants.
Preference will be given to proposals providing the requested information in the greatest detail. Special topics chairs are responsible
for generating a 1- to 3- page summary (after the session) for inclusion in the Proceedings as a non-refereed publication.
All competitive and special topics submissions must include a statement specifying that at least one author of the paper agrees to
register and attend the conference to present the paper. Failure to present an accepted competitive paper/special topics session will result in
the competitive paper/special topics session being withdrawn from the conference proceedings. Only an author or presenter listed on the
paper/special topics session is eligible to present at the conference.
Requirements for Submission of Competitive Papers and Special Topics
Proposals
