Submissions for WRAMTA 2018 are due by September 20, 2017. You can find the submission form, as well as the scoring rubric, at WRAMTA 2018 Call For Papers under the WRAMTA 2018 menu.

NEW: Ethics CMTE Proposals
We are dedicated to providing a CMTE fulfilling the ethics requirements at the 2018 WRAMTA Conference in Ontario, CA. Now that the requirement has been in effect for more than a cycle, many professionals express interest in more diverse and unique offerings in regards to ethics that will satisfy their 3 required credits. Depending on submissions, we may accept one person (or one submission with co-presenters) to fulfill the 3 credit hours, or select 2-3 presenters to create a more diverse presentation.
A short list we began brainstorming included: Ethics in social media, ethics in supervision, ethics in business, ethics in digital music, ethics in …….
The submissions will be reviewed and scored by the same rubric as all other submissions. Please direct any questions about this to Emily Polichette at wramta.ced@gmail.com.
New Limit on Submissions for CMTEs and Concurrent Presentations
We will accept only one presentation on a given topic from the same presenter. This includes co-presenting. You may still submit for more than one proposal, but they must be starkly different in content. Direct any questions about this to Emily Polichette at wramta.ced@gmail.com.
New Platform for Registration, App, and More!
We have transitioned to a new platform to support our conference. We are excited for the many opportunities it provides for disseminating information continuing education opportunities, exhibitors, social opportunities, networking, and more. Check back here or on our Facebook pages for updates!
