Conference format:
As has been the tradition for NAACI conference, we will work toward establishing a community of inquiry. To this end, there will be no concurrent sessions. All attendees will participate in all sessions. Each session will be about an hour and a half in length with three paper presentations restricted to about 60 minutes, leaving 30 minutes for discussion. To facilitate the discussion, all accepted papers will be available electronically prior to the conference for all attendees. If your paper is accepted, you will be expected to attend the entire conference to share and support your fellow participants.

Activities:
The Museum will sponsor a tour and we hope to announce other social and cultural activities as we get closer to the event. We are still in the early planning stages so check the website often for updates as we move forward. Queretaro is a beautiful place and you may wish to extend your stay to take in the sights.
