Call for Proposals

Open until 28 Feb 2025

After a long break between conferences, it’s time we came together to listen, share and explore all the work that is happening across the varied aspects of registration practice.

We welcome proposals that highlight the pursuit of progress across a range of registration ideas or practices and an emphasis on experimentation, response to current global discourse and projects at various stages of completion. We acknowledge that progress can mean different things for different institutions, and we hope to hear your diverse perspectives.

Some questions to address include, but are not limited to:

Are you experimenting with:

• New strategies in registration procedures and workflows;
• Technologies, including generative AI; or
• Cross disciplinary / sector collaborations;

How does your registration practice reflect the current global discourse around:

• Decolonisation;
• Human rights;
• Climate change; or
• Advances in AI and other technologies;

We hope new ventures in different stages will be shared. Are you currently:

• Contemplating change and the challenges this brings?
• Embracing opportunities and navigating obstacles?
• Reflecting back on achievements and oversights?

Please read the guidelines and complete the online form below.

The call for proposals will close on Tuesday 28th February 2025.

Guidelines:

• Online submission is the only method of proposal submission.
• You may submit more than one proposal all under the same account.
• Proposals will only be accepted as 150-250 word text format abstracts. We recommend writing this in Word and saving to your desktop prior to starting the submission process, then ‘copy and paste’ the proposal content into the relevant section.
• All proposals should be primarily in English. If English is not the first language of speakers/projects please provide details on how you will provide access for delegates (i.e., translator, subtitles, etc). If you need assistance with this, please contact the ARC Council ([email protected]).
• We are encouraging speakers to attend in person but can accommodate virtual speakers in advance.
• It is the responsibility of the presenter/author to ensure that the proposal is submitted correctly. For assistance with submissions, please contact the ARC Council [email protected].
• It is the responsibility of the presenter/author to ensure their proposal explains how it relates to the theme.
• Where there is more than one presenter, all correspondence will be sent to the person who submitted the proposal.
• Every effort will be made to accommodate the presenter/author presentation preference, however the ARC Council reserves the right to allocate the presentation to best suit the program.
• The invitation to submit a proposal does not constitute an offer to pay travel, accommodation or registration costs associated with the conference. Similarly, no presenter fee is paid to successful presenters.
• If your proposal is accepted, all speakers agree to register and pay the Early Bird Registration price. Bursary applications will be available via the registration site.
