Resources & Awards

Resources

Your very best resource as you prepare your proposal will be found among the faculty at your institution. Ask them for a review of your proposal and use their feedback to strengthen your work before submitting it for review.

Poster Templates: On the WWW, you can find many sites that provide free templates for creating your poster. Here are just a few:

Awards

In each category, an award is given recognizing particularly good work.

On-site, evaluators will review your work and subsequently select presentations for recognition.

Presenters who decide to withdraw or are unable to attend must contact the conference coordinator no later than a week in advance of the conference.  Failure to do so may result in not being invited to present at future conferences.

Q&A

Do proposals have to be tied to the conference theme?
No. While we are certainly seeking theme-related presentations, WSKW has always provided a venue for a broad range of topics to be presented.
When will we hear back regarding acceptance of proposals?
We plan to do our best to get word back by July 1st to those who submit proposals.
